Come see a free screening of "The Corporation," an amazing documentary about the origins and rise to power of the modern corporation.

There will also be a discussion entitled "Neoliberalism 101." It's an economics discussion by and for people who hate economics. What is Neoliberalism and how does it affect us? Who the hell is Milton Friedman? WTF is the WTO?

Plus fun games!

Karen Redleaf* will explain the ways deregulation
and complex financial dealings have led to the
downfall of financial institutions and massive
home foreclosures. A panel of representatives of
groups most affected by this crisis will discuss
their experiences. Music provided by
