    Third Friday of every month, Take Action! - Iraq Moratorium
    The slow-motion train wreck that is the occupation of Iraq grows daily more of a nightmare. In 2006 America voted to bring it to an end. But our politicians have failed to grasp the strain on our military and the depth to which America's influence in the world has fallen. We must force them and our media to recognize just how angry America is, and how massive the anti-war sentiment in this country has become.
    The Iraq Moratorium will be an escalating monthly series of actions demanding an end to the war. Starting on Friday, September 21 and on the third Friday of every month thereafter, we will take the time to show our President and Congress that our troops must be brought home, now!

Creativity in Focus Film: Con Artist – 7pm

Salt Lake Art Center Auditorium, 20 S West Temple, Salt Lake City

A superstar during the frantic glory of the 1980s New York art world, Mark Kostabi has unapologetically signed and sold thousands of paintings made by painters/laborers who attest to not having seen Kostabi paint for years.

This energetic, punk-fueled docu-comedy traces the meteoric rise and fall of a bizarre visionary and the art market that birthed him.

Remembering Joe Hil -7pm,Post Theater, 245 S Fort Douglas Blvd.

Anke Summerhill
Kate MacLeod
Gigi Love
Duncan Phillips
Kyle Wulle
Mark Ross

Join these musicians in celebrating the memory of a true American hero with stories and songs. These are some of the best song writers and performers in the west. The west is where the great labor movement of the Industrial Workers of the World started and we can’t forget who it was that gave us the 8 hour day, ended child labor and brought dignity and democracy to the work place.

Joe Hill was murdered right here in Salt Lake defending the rights of workers, organizing the masses with poetry and song. Well, the bosses who killed him are back at their dirty business again taking away all the workers’ rights Joe and others fought and died for. So bring a comrade and be inspired to fight again.

“Don’t Mourn Organize!”

Tickets for this special event are $15.00 and tax deductible. A donated guitar will be raffled at the end of the show.

Annual Community Coat Exchange

If you need a coat, please come get one. If you have a coat, we know people who can use them.

Website: http://www.coatexchange.org
Every year people all over the United States spend the day after Thanksgiving getting ready for the holiday season by patronizing retail businesses for gift buying. We perceived a need for a project for the same day that would be useful and meaningful, as well as educational, and that focuses on concerns about the ecological and psychological consequences of our consumer culture and the impact of our consumerism on society.

To that end, a new community-oriented project was born: The Community Coat Exchange. Patterned after a similar event in Rhode Island, the Coat Exchange is a collection and distribution of winter coats and other clothing items. The event is held between 10 AM and 2PM the day after Thanksgiving.

The idea is for folks to bring donations to any of the drop off centers (see right sidebar for partners and drop off centers) before Thanksgiving or to the event itself. At the event, no questions are asked: If you need a coat, come get one. If you want to exchange a coat, bring the coat you want to donate and take one in exchange. If you have a donation of coats, we know people who can use them.

Left over coats are donated to the Crossroads Urban Center Thrift Store, a project of the Crossroads Urban Center which advocates for low income and homeless people. The Crossroads Urban Center Thrift Store gives clothes away to poor people and also sells clothes and other goods in its retail shop to the general public to help fund the Crossroads Urban Center programs.

Please contact us if your organization is willing to support this annual event as a partner (obligations of co-sponsors are to publicize the event to your network).
