GLOBAL THREE: RECLAIMING COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT
APRIL 8 TO 10, 2005 at THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI in the
Tangeman University Center

(Please forward widely!!!  Also, please forgive us if you
have already gotten an e-mail or a flyer)

Global Three: Reclaiming Community and Environment, is a
conference designed to reclaim the human connections that
make communities and our surrounding environment strong.
Through the conference, people are provided with a space
where information and skills can be shared while
simultaneously having fun, networking, and exposing one's
mind to diverse concepts. "Global Three.." appeals to
different interests and walks of life by utilizing a wide
variety of methods to disseminate knowledge.  These methods,
such as workshops, discussions, speaking panels, caucuses,
tabling, actions, films, music, art and much more are the
cornerstone of the conference.  Update 2/27/05 We have plenty
of spaces for tabling.

Topics:  The topics of Global Three: Reclaiming Community and
Environment are not limited to a few words.  The usage of the
words community and environment are used as a springboard to
dive into several issues such as community, environmental,
economic, social, and political justice.  Workshops providing
action, solution, and empowerment are plenty.  Other
workshops will simply focus on Art or Cooking.  In the end,
there are workshops for radicals and reformists, for moms and
sons, elders and kids, etc.  Global Three: Reclaiming
Community and Environment is a conference for everyone and
everybody.   Confirm speakers so far are Derrick Jensen.
Bands that have been confirmed so far are Requiem, MC
Homeless, and David Rovics.  If you are interested in
teaching a workshop, send your proposal to Paul at
