Description: 

The Winter Soldier screening will be held in the Shelter House at Comfest on Saturday June 28, 2008, at 8:00PM. Speakers (tba) from IVAW will be present before and after the screening.

"Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan featured testimony from U.S. veterans who served in those occupations, giving an accurate account of what is really happening day in and day out, on the ground.

"This four-day event brought together veterans from across the country to testify about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan - and present video and photographic evidence. In addition, panels of scholars, veterans, journalists, and other specialists gave context to the testimony. These panels covered everything from the history of the GI resistance movement to the fight for veterans' health benefits and support." (http://ivaw.org/wintersoldier)

World Naked Bike Ride - Columbus Ohio! Stop indecent exposure to oil dependency!

Description: 

Hi there, my name is Kris and I'm currently trying to organize a World Naked Bike Ride for Columbus Ohio (Ohio's first WNBR). The WNBR is a bike ride, held annually, that protests oil dependency and celebrates the power and individuality of the human body. We get together in mass, ride our bikes in protest, and make ourselves heard through the non-threatening medium of humour. The motto is "as bare as you dare" so nudity, while encouraged, is not required. Either way, it's the first of many protests I will be organizing and I need help. I need organizers, volunteers, endorsements, advertising, and, most importantly, participants. If you or anyone you know might be interested in contributing time, money (it's a not-for-profit event, all money goes toward ads, ect), advice or would like to participate I would be greatly appreciative if you'd spread the word.

You can visit the WBNR event page or group page (just type World Naked Bike Ride - Columbus Ohio into the search bar) or visit the World Naked Bike Ride - Columbus, Ohio Website (www.freewebs.com/wnbrcolumbus).
Also, be sure to check out the World Naked Bike Ride website (worldnakedbikeride.org) or the wikipage (nakedwiki.org) to find a ride near you.

Any suggestions, advice or information, or any participants, volunteers, organizers, advertisers, or endorsements are needed and loved.

Be sure to sign up if you intent to participate, if we don't get enough participants it'll have to be postponed until next June (it's currently planned for the first Saturday of September)

Times and dates are tentative and may be changed if we can't get enough participants. Route information will be posted on the site at a later date and any updates will be added to the website.

Sorry about the temporary nature of the event posting but this kind of thing is very new to me.
