Mark your calendars.........

What's up JIFM,

Tomorrow is the footbal game at UH. Join us after a week of stressful events. Tomorrow Sunday!
Talking about stressful events... please let us know how your editorial to the daily cougar is going. We hope that this got you pumping and got you to do some writing, in any case, something will be published, we'll make sure it happens.

Here is a couple of events going on this coming week. Both i recommend highly. The gatherings at Rice Media center are always really good- there is always a talk to discuss the movie and you get to hear many different perspectives.

The second event hosted by the socialist party i also recommend. You want to get your dose of socialism... (hope not to get arrested/deported after i post this...LOL)

Hope you have a great weekend. I know i will:)

Militant Labor Forum presents:
Behind the rebellion in France
North African immigrants take to the streets in protest of racism and cop Brutality

Tens of thousands of youth from working class immigrant families in France have joined in protests in 300 cities across France demanding an end to racist and anti-immigrant policies of the French government. Some 6 million citizens of North African descent live in segregated, overcrowded housing in areas the government dubs “sensitive urban zones”. There the unemployment rate is close to double the national rate, while for 21-29 year-olds it’s 30%. This widespread protest movement has thrown the government into a crisis. On November 12, the government invoked the 1955 law used by French imperialism in its war against the Algerian anti-colonial movement.

Join us in a discussion on the origins of this resistance today. Also, we will be showing video clips on the background to the movie “Battle of Algiers”. That film accurately depicted the powerful Algerian independence movement led by workers and farmers fed up with the daily humiliation they faced from the colonizers.
Speaker: Steve Warshell, Socialist Workers Party
