SUMMARY:Warning! Graphic Content!
DESCRIPTION:An event with award-winning cartoonist Dwayne Booth.\n  \n \nWhat is the future of political cartooning\, protest art\, and visual satire? How can pictures rendered in celebration of the precious vulnerability of the human experience make crystal clear the toxic barbarity of the military and retail industrial complexes\, both built on the hideous notion that the commodification of people everywhere and the willful disenfranchisement of their natural inclination towards peace\, love\, and understanding is better for business – better business being predatory capitalism and capitulation to hierarchy? What can be done to assert the importance and indispensability of the artist’s unique role in a free society as both a witness and predictor and\, in some circumstances\, instigator of all the comedy and tragedy that motivates our politics\, shapes our cultural identities\, and informs\, for better or worse\, the internal voice that shames\, praises\, and confounds our tenuous relationship with truth\, beauty\, and treachery every moment of everyday? \nMr. Fish \nDwayne Booth has been a freelance writer and cartoonist for twenty-five years\, publishing under both his real name and the pen name of Mr. Fish with many of the nation’s most reputable and prestigious magazines\, journals and newspapers.  His work has appeared in Harper’s Magazine\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Village Voice\, the LA Weekly\, the Atlantic\, The Nation\, Vanity Fair\, Mother Jones\, the Advocate\, Slate\, Truthdig\, ScheerPost\, and The Chris Hedges Report.  He has also published with Information for Social Change (British journal)\, Internazionale (Italian magazine)\, and Umanita Nova (Italian newspaper). \nHis awards include the Los Angeles Press Club for editorial cartooning\, the Grambs Aronson Award for Cartooning with a Conscience and the Sigma Delta Chi Award for Editorial Cartooning.  He has curated exhibits exploring the history of political cartooning for the University of Southern California\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and the University of Connecticut. \n \nRegister for this event \n \nBooth’s most recent book is Nobody Left: Conversations with Famous Radicals\, Progressives and Cultural Icons About the End of Dissent\, Revolution and Liberalism in America\, Fantagraphics Books. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stop the Cuts! Tax the Rich! Block the Bombs!
DESCRIPTION:Join the Arise & Resist Budget and Tax Justice Coalition\, the LOFTE Network and MAPA to rally at State GOP Headquarters in Boston! We must demand they repudiate these draconian Big Ugly Bill cuts to housing\, healthcare\, food assistance and more in order to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-rich and huge increases to ICE and Pentagon pork! \nWe’re rallying to build a movement: we won’t back down! \nDonald Trump’s Big Brutal Bill will GUT HUD HOUSING programs by slashing funding by 43% and replacing Section 8/Public Housing with block grants + term limits. \nFAMILIES WILL LOSE HOMES\, Climate\, Clean Water\, and Medical Research would be slashed by $2 to $3 billion. \nThese are in addition to Trump’s $1 Trillion cut to MEDICAID and SNAP! \nCHILDREN WILL LOSE FOOD and HEALTHCARE! \nTrump’s PENTAGON would receive over $1 TRILLION and the budget for his ICE GESTAPO would balloon by several fold ! \nMEANWHILE: \nBILLIONAIRES GET MORE TAX CUTS – WHILE CHILDREN ABROAD ARE KILLED AND MAIMED! \nYes\, I’ll be there!
