FREE FILM: Shocking and Awful:A Grassroots Response to War and Occupation, Part
1
Free Speech Zone
2144 South Highland Drive, Suite 130

“Shocking and awful” is the way many people view the current situation (2004) in
Iraq and the United States. The war

continues to take its toll on Iraqi civilians, international aid workers,
journalists and U.S. troops. Here at home we are

seeing how waging a “perpetual war” is affecting our own lives as well.

Immigration activists seek 'Day of Action'
Utah's immigrant rights activists are calling on Utahns to join a "National Day
of Action" on the immigration issue.
Two events planned by Proyecto Latino de Utah and the Utah Hispanic Legislative
Task Force are meant to give Utah's Latinos a

voice as federal lawmakers debate immigration policy reform.

A "Dignity March" is planned for Sunday, April 9, from noon to 5 p.m., from the
City and County Building, 450 S. State, to

the state Capitol. Then, on Monday, April 10, the community is invited to join
in the "National Day of Action" with a 4:30

p.m. rally at the City-County Building.

Nationally, marches calling for solidarity against get-tough immigration reform
have been gathering steam. In Utah, hundreds

of high school and middle school students have already participated by walking
out of class this week.

FREE FILM:  War Tax Resistance Film
AN ACT OF CONSCIENCE: STANDING UP FOR YOUR BELIEFS BEGINS AT HOME
Free Speech Zone
2144 South Highland Drive, Suite 130

For fourteen years, a couple publicly refused to pay federal taxes as a protest
against war and military spending. As a

consequence, their home was seized by U.S. marshals and IRS agents. Narrated by
actor Martin Sheen, this feature-length

documentary chronicles the couple’s five-year struggle to nonviolently resist
the seizure of their home, in which they are

joined by hundreds of supporters from across the country, including noted author
and activist priest Fr. Daniel Berrigan and

long-time folksinger Pete Seeger.
