On Saturday, May 15th, 2010, at 7:30 pm, the Santa Cruz Peace Chorale will present
Building Bridges, a concert in honor of those who work for peace & justice worldwide.
This event will take place at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, located at 2402 Cabrillo
College Drive in Soquel. *
Now in its 8th season, the Santa Cruz Peace Chorale has been widely recognized as
a community treasure along the Central Coast. A past recipient of a Cultural Council
of Santa Cruz County grant and the subject of a recent Community T.V. documentary,
the Peace Chorale has also been honored by folk singer Pete Seeger’s personal
contributions to their repertoire.
In these times of war and the fanning of the flames of hatred & violence, Building
Bridges, the Chorale’s annual fundraiser concert, features songs that celebrate the
many global efforts to span differences and promote peace & understanding. In keeping
with this theme, this year’s music spans styles from Bach to rock, from Japanese to
South African, from Broadway musical to Croatian harmony, and more! The Santa Cruz
Peace Chorale invites you to an inspiring evening of music and, of course, to their now-
traditional “Organic Strawberry Shortcake Social” after the show.
Doors open at 7:00 pm. There is a requested donation of $10-20 at the door to benefit
the work of the Chorale. No one turned away. For more information, please call 831-
818-1722.

“The Shock Doctrine” is available at Capitola Book Cafe and Resource Center for Nonviolence.

“The Shock Doctrine” is a groundbreaking alternative history of the most dominant ideology of our time, Milton Friedman’s free-market economic revolution. Naomi Klein challenges the popular myth of this movement’s peaceful global victory. From Chile in 1973 to Iraq today, Klein shows how Friedman and his followers have repeatedly harnessed terrible shocks and violence to implement their radical policies.

“Corporate media constantly refer to the “mistakes” or “missteps” of the U.S. policy in Iraq, or the “incompetence” of U.S. handiling of the Katrina catastrophe. A much darker truth exists. In recent decades, a corporate class and culture has evolved – and taken power in Washington – that thrives on disaster. They create disasters, as in premeditated war [on Iraq], and rush to profit from disasters such as Katrina… The Bush team [after 9/11] … quickly moved to exploit the shock that gripped the nation to push through its radical vision of a hollow government in which everything from war fighting to disaster response was a for-profit venture… . It was a bold evolution of shock therapy.”–Naomi Klein

“This is a brilliant book, one of the most importatn I have read in a long time.” -Howard Zinn.

An evening of comedy and political provocation
with America’s most-wanted political cartoonist &
the First Muslim Presidential Candidate
KHALIL BENDIB
sponsored by the Resource Center for Nonviolence
and the Santa Cruz Comic News

$6-$20 suggested donation (no one turned away for lack of funds)
Khalil Bendib’s award- winning cartoons are distributed nationwide. His tongue-in-cheek presentation, including his political cartoons, touches on how Islamophobia and the “War on Terror” are used to justify increased violence, militarism and repression. He advances
nonviolence, peace and love as the only true remedies to what ails us. Copies of “Mission Accomplished,” Bendib’s recent book of cartoons, will be available for purchase. “Bendib is an Equal opportunity skewer. The more a subject or victim is ignored by the mass
media, the more he infuriates, informs and intensifies the reader’s attention. Cartoons need to jolt. Bendib obliges page after page.” — RALPH NADER. “Khalil Bendib, with a few ingenious strokes of his pen, gets to the heart of the issues of our time. His cartoons are in the greatest tradition of American political humor, with that
combination of wit and intelligence so needed in the struggle for justice.” — HOWARD ZINN
