Just a note- the film How To Start A Revolution is about the work of Gene Sharp, who writes about non-violent revolution. He lives in Boston and is my neighbor, as are some of the people that work with him at the Albert Einstein Institution. He has written several short but very informative booklets on the topic that were read by leaders of the Arab Spring and that I would encourage everyone to read. I got him to donate several copies to the OB library back in October, but I don't know where they are now since the library was evacuated.
The film was shown once at Dewey Square, but if anyone else wanted to organize an indoor screening for OB I could see if Mr. Sharp would be willing to come speak. He is very elderly so he doesn't too many speaking engagements but he did speak at the premiere of the film a few months ago, which I attended.
Cheers,
Maureen

This brings both politics and economics under the same roof, and oddly integrates protest movements, alternative technologies and social forms, and the human potential movement. More on that later.
