| | | POC12-133 | | Laughter Against the Machine: a documentary film preview and discussion Speakers: Comedy Troupe: W. Kamau Bell and Nato Green Comedians W. Kamau Bell, Nato Green and Janine Brito, are Laughter Against the Machine; a unique kind of comedy troupe where the audience expects to be challenged, to laugh, and think at the same time. It’s an issue-oriented, no-holds-bar show with no preconceived expectations, no party lines, and certainly no cheerleading – because they have beef with everybody, including themselves. Like Doctors without Borders, armed with jokes instead of penicillin, Laughter Against the Machine is a comedic peacekeeping mission to bring humor to those who need it most. | | MP3 | | $7.00 | | $7.00 | |
| | | POC12-131 | | Campaign finance reform – the single most important campaign Speakers: Mark McLeod, Sustainable Business Alliance of Oakland/Berkeley; State Senator Loni Hancock; Moderator: Winston Burton, Economic Development Director, Building Opportunities for Self-Sufficiency (BOSS) Over the last third of a century, wealth has become increasingly concentrated in the hands of the 1% of the population that is wealthiest. Well over 40% of the nation’s resources are controlled by that top 1% and the companies they control. Not surprisingly, the 1% of the population that is wealthiest is also the 1% of the population that has political power proportionate to its wealth. This session explores several questions in order to shed light on these disturbing trends as well as discuss strategies to overcome them. | | MP3 | | $7.00 | | $7.00 | |
