FRIDAY June 6th, 2008 Topanga Peace Alliance Presents ''Trespassing''
by filmmaker Carlos
DeMenezes.
This award-winning film exposes the dilemma that
affects all life on the planet for millions of years
to come; where and how to sequester spent nuclear
material.
"Trespassing" captures the breathtaking beauty of the
Native American sacred sites in Nevada's Yucca
Mountain and elsewhere where the U.S. government is
trying to bury toxic, nuclear waste. We meet
activist/representatives of Native tribes and witness
their collective efforts to safeguard their sacred
sites and preserve the fertility of their land.
As the film unfolds, we are reminded of how precious
and fragile the Earth's life-support system is and how
the preservation of all life on our planet depends on
the actions of all of us.
Film Nights are on the first Friday of the month starting at 7:45pm at YOGA
DESA 120 Topanga Canyon Blvd, 90290
Yoga Desa is in the

Peace March
Cynthia
McKinney Highlights
the Topanga Peace Alliance Party
For the fourth year, the Topanga
Peace Alliance held their annual party to celebrate a lot of hard work, many
great successes, and to just have some fun.
The first half of the party featured performances by Candace Carnicelli; Susan Lovell McLaughlin; Ellen Geer and
Malora Marshall; Maria Armoudian; and several other talented
musicians. Many attendees remarked at
how consistently excellent all of the performers were.
Then
Cynthia McKinney, the outgoing and outspoken Congresswoman from the State of
Georgia
,
gave an inspiring presentation and answered questions from the crowd. After her presentation the party went into
high gear with a rocking set from Jim Crawford and friends plus members of
the Downward Facing Dog Band.
Estimated
attendance was about 150, which is roughly one third of the total number of
members of the Topanga Peace Alliance (TPA).
