Hey all, I just thought I'd post a list of current events which are happening around the globe and locally. Feel free to add to this list
Date: 9/10/07
Event: Free Hugs Day!
Where: Everywhere in the U.S.A
Type: Causes and Rally
Start Time: September 10, 2007 at 12:00am
End Time: September 11, 2007 at 12:00am
Description:
This day will be remembered as the biggest Free Hug day this world has ever seen. Everybody get ready, this one is going to be HUGE.
The Reason for the date,
September 10th is the day before 9/11. We will all sit down on that day and think about the tragedies that have befallen this world, we will think of the twin towers, of the iraq war, of the terrorist attacks all over the world. We will think to ourselves...what has this world come to? where has the good gone. That is why i created this event, so when you do ask yourself that, you think about all the hugs you had recieved the day before and you think to yourself that there is love left.
i want people to be reminded that this world has a great amount of good left in it, and that it should never be forgotten.

Description:So because I love science and particularly have an affinity for all things celestial I thought my friends all over the globe might want to join me for this. Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August.It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will culminate on Monday Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles of earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Monday Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again.
Pluse how cool will it be for us all to be looking up at the night sky all at the same time : )
so not quite as cool or true as I was hopeing but a lunar eclips is pretty rad too...because we'll all be looking at the moon at the same time : )

Description:James Chasse was murdered by the Portland police. He was tazed, kicked in the head, beaten, jumped on, and hog tied. And then he "mysteriously" died in police custody. I saw a picture of him on the "beat goes on" thread on this site. It made me want to know more about him.
When the police kill someone in this city, too often they are allowed to define who that person was. Through the police officers' apologist mouthpieces in the corporate media, all we ever learn is a few extraneous facts, usually not even accurate. Whether the person ever did drugs or not, we are fed snippets to make us believe they were a drug addict. If they were ever in trouble with the law, we are told that. If they were poor or homeless or somehow different than the Brady Bunch family, we are told those details. But never anything more. We are never given a real picture of the real human being whose living and breathing flesh was so terribly assaulted by the police state that they have been added to the long list of people who gave their lives to the Force. The brute force of power crazed thugs in uniform.
Add your events!
