Charming tourist spot - check. Wonderful cheap prices available from the poorest and least secure economic agents in our city - check. Bottom economic rung (with a long way down if you slip) and home of the "blues" in too many more ways than one - check. The city's most hardworking, tenacious and inventive DIY economic actors, through simple rules and traditions surviving the Maxwell Street Market. We want to help them survive it - survive as in "outlive." Come help seed the Maxwell Street Parecon, on select Sunday mornings throughout 2006.
Sunday, January 22nd from 10AM to 11AM and perhaps well beyond, we're going to be at the Maxwell Street Market handing out bilingual PARECON mini-flyers (Word and Acrobat files attached on the "flyer repository page"). RSVP at joveismad[little-at-sign-thingy-nospam-nospam]juno.com (or call me if ya got it) and we can meet up at the southwest corner of Canal and Roosevelt (see attached map) and from there, venture into the fray. I have to split around 11AM for another gig, but I can hand off flyers to anyone staying longer.
We should be getting our voicemail number this week and we agreed in our December meeting to add this number to the mini-flyer - I'll do so and post it here well before the 25th.

"Life
& Debt"
Saturday,
January 28, 2006
2:00 p.m. Veterans Room, Level 2, Main
Library
Jamaica, land of sea, sand, and sun and a prime example of the
complexities of economic globalization on the world's developing
countries. With 25 years of "help" from the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, intended to bring third
world nations into the free market economy, these policies have
crippled Jamaica's efforts towards self-reliant development while
enriching the lenders.

"Behind
the Labels: Garment Workers on US Saipan"
Saturday, January 28, 2006
screening will follow "Life & Debt" Veterans Room,
Level 2, Main Library
Lured by false promises and driven by desperation, thousands
of Chinese and Filipina women pay huge fees to work in garment factories
on the Pacific island of Saipan - the only US territory exempt from
federal minimum wage and immigration laws. The clothing they sew,
bearing the "Made in USA" label, is shipped duty- and
quota-free to the US for sale by The Gap, J. Crew, Polo, and other
retailers.

We'll discuss the institutions of Parecon and strategies for their implementation, evaluate the past month's actions and plan for the next (including one with Pilsen Greens), divvy up tasks answering the voicemail line, discuss new projects like Parecon Gaming and Theater, perhaps consider the issue of decision making between meetings, maybe change the mission statement a smidge, and all that jazz.
