Friends & Family of Daniel McGowan will be hosting dinner and a movie benefit for Daniel at Time's Up! (Daniel McGowan is an environmental and social justice activist who was arrested a year ago and charged in federal court on many counts of arson, property destruction and conspiracy, all relating to two incidents in Oregon in 2001.) We will have dinner at 6:30, followed by an 8pm screening of The Lorax and Pom Poko (Raccoon War). There will also be a raffle with lots of nifty prizes and plenty of information on Daniel and other targets of the Green Scare. Suggested donation: $10; proceeds to benefit Daniel's legal defense. Directions listed below.

MOVIE INFO:
The Lorax:
A young boy goes to meet a ruined industrialist in a treeless wasteland and hear his tale of what happened to him. His tragic story is about how he began a thriving business with a useless fashion product derived from the trees of a forest. As his business booms, the forest and its inhabitants suffer as he wantonly clearcuts without regard to the warnings of a wise old creature called the Lorax about the dire consequences of his greed.

Pom Poko (Raccoon War):
As the human city development encroaches on the raccoon population's forest and meadow habitat, the raccoons find themselves faced with the very real possibility of extinction. In response, the raccoons engage in a desperate struggle to stop the construction and preserve their home.

Location: Time's Up!, 49 E Houston St. (between Mott and Mulberry). Take the 6 train to Bleecker St. or the B/D/F/V to Broadway/Lafayette and walk about one block east on Houston.
