This weekend, the rebel economists at Adbusters will head to the American
Economic Association conference in Boston to challenge the dead-end
economic ideas of the 1%. As the largest annual gathering of economists in
the U.S., and a magnet for media attention, the AEA conference is the
perfect location to challenge the theories that fuel the financial
instability, climate chaos and market mayhem that are plaguing our
societies. From the workshops to the hallways, we’ll shake things up and
challenge the status-quo with the subversive memes and mind-bombs of a new
pluralist economics for the 21st century.

For our kick off demonstration at Copley Place on Friday evening at 5PM, we
need a few good radicals to gather with us and show solidarity with our
action. To pull the action off, we will have volunteer needs to be filled
starting in the early afternoon to early evening. Please contact us for
more details!

President Obama is seeking Congressional authorization to bomb ISIS not only in Iraq and Syria – but anywhere he wants.

Come to the Dec. 8 organizing meeting to address the real dangers of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth, MA

WHY?

• Boston is only 34 miles from Pilgrim, and subject to nuclear contamination in case of radioactive release at Pilgrim.
• Pilgrim’s G.E. Mark 1 design is the same as Fukushima’s
• Its highly radioactive spent fuel pool is not inside the reinforced containment structure, and hence is vulnerable to accident, or attack by air.
• In case of nuclear contamination, home insurance pays NOTHING.
• In case of nuclear evacuation, the Sagamore and Bourne bridges will immediately CLOSE, to allow Plymouth residents to escape — but trapping Cape residents, who will have no escape.

Come to hear Diane Turco of Cape Downwinders explain the real threats to the Boston area, and the successful political actions by Cape Cod organizations.

Diane was one of the Four Cape Cod Grandmothers who performed an act of civil resistance on Mothers’ Day 2014.

With the experience of the Cape Codders and the numbers of the Bostonians, we have a much better chance for a future safe from nuclear disaster and the need to abandon our homes.

Organizing Meeting:
Monday, Dec. 8, 7-9 PM
Massachusetts Peace Action
First Church in Cambridge, Hastings Room
11 Garden St., Cambridge
