Message-ID: <234837310803121045w5333b76qc0580934208c8a0f@mail.gmail.com> Wednesday, March 12, 7:30 p.m. at CounterPULSE, 1310 Mission at 9th Arab San Francisco March 12 Peoples from the Arab World have been migrating to San Francisco for over a hundred years. The earliest were mostly from the Levant: Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine; and also Yemen. Most recent immigrants coming from North Africa's Magrib region (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia) and Iraq since the first Gulf War. Why did they come here? How have they affected SF life? What are their ongoing connections to "homelands" across the world? San Francisco, being a liberal progressive oasis, attracts many gay and lesbian Arabs as a home away from home. This Talk will also examine the gay and lesbian struggle in the context of conservatism in the Arab World, showing how Arab conservatism was created, encouraged and spread as a result of western interference. *Monadel Herzallah* (Arab American Union Members Council) *Renda Dabit* (Palestinian American artist, activist, and business woman), *Maher Sabry*, (Egyptian human-rights activist and filmmaker) March 19: Art & Politics: Favianna Rodriguez March 26: Talk: Nature in the City: Twin Peaks Bioregon and the Natural Areas Program -- www.chriscarlsson.com Fall-Winter Talks 2007-08: www.counterpulse.org/fall-winter-talks.shtml The Nowtopian (my blog): http://www.lipmagazine.org/ccarlsson/ www.shapingsf.org www.processedworld.com www.fullenjoymentbooks.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Talk: Twin Peaks Bioregion! Message-ID: <234837310803261747l6e3a704ep5b1a130893cd19ec@mail.gmail.com> sorry for such a last minute notice... slipped my agenda... tonight at 7:30 at CounterPULSE, 1310 Mission at 9th: Twin Peaks Bioregion and the Natural Areas Program March 26 The Franciscan Bioregion is the unique ecological area of Planet Earth and the area of our keen interest, north of the San Francisco airport, from San Bruno Mountain to the Golden Gate. In the heart of the city is a series of hilltops, e.g., Mt. Davidson, Tank Hill, Corona Heights, as well as Glen Canyon, that are still rich with natural areas, wildlife habitats, and indigenous biodiversity. This "Twin Peaks Bioregion" is severely threatened by noxious weeds and insensitive uses of our local natural habitats. Still, many people are working hard to steward these special places, and they hold an exciting vision for this area and the whole city as a restored network of wildlife corridors, nature trails, and livable communities, for example from Golden Gate Park to Glen Park. *Tom Radulovich *- Livable City, BART Board;*Greg Gaar *- Natural Historian, Haight-Ashbury Native Plant Nursery;* Craig Dawson* - Mt.
