XRBOSTON/Car Free Boston World Car Free Day Rebel Ride Friday September 23rd Copley 5PM

 

Extinction Rebellion and Car Free Boston have teamed up to hold an action Friday afternoon after-work at 5PM ET to celebrate World Car Free Day. They will be joining 50 countries and over 1,000 cities in imagining what a future without cars could be like.  “We need transformative change in mobility to safe, clean, quiet transportation that doesn’t destroy our biosphere.”*

“The event will start in Copley Square and travel around 10 miles total and will finish in Dewey Square. We will meander at a slow pace (< 10 mph). Bring lights, music, costumes, flags and positive vibes. We will be taking a lane on open streets, with safety in numbers. If you have experience corking (marshaling) let us know.”*

“Extinction Rebellion is a strictly non-violent movement, whose overall ambition is an international rebellion that helps humanity to turn quickly onto a course that is compatible with life on earth, and to build resilient communities in the face of ecological and societal crisis. We operate under the principles of Holacracy with a decentralized structure.”**

‘2020: The Dumpster Fire’ Premieres in Boston on Friday December 17th

‘2020: The Dumpster Fire’ Premieres in Boston on Friday, December 17th

Local activist/ filmmaker Rod Webber will premiere his new film ‘2020: The Dumpster Fire’ in Boston on Friday, December 17th at the Capital Theater in Arlington, MA. The film follows Webber on the 2020 campaign trail and features him trolling many candidates, from both parties. Lot’s of humor, with a serious message. The basic information from the fb event page is below and includes a link to buy tickets. 

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2021 AT 7 PM

2020: The Dumpster Fire | Boston Premiere

Capitol Theater Building
TICKET COST $11
TICKET PRE-SALES AVAILABLE NOW
DOORS AND PHOTO OPS AT 6:00PM
FILM STARTS AT 7:30PM
The film follows artist/ film director, Rod Webber, and his satirical presidential campaign and the tumultuous protests of 2020. Webber trolls Republicans and Democrats alike, earning him praise, and similarly hilarious condemnations of being “Satanic Antifa” by wackos like Alex Jones. Webber trolls the internet too when he scrawls “Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself” on the viral-video Duct-Tape-Banana-Wall, resulting in his arrest, a warrant for a second arrest and a series of high-profile print articles.
When civil unrest breaks out in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, Webber, (a supporter of BLM), switches gears, conducting serious interviews, and is one of the first on the scene documenting Minneapolis as it burned. Traveling to Portland, Seattle and Washington DC, Webber dodges rubber bullets, tear-gas canisters, and live ammunition to give the viewer a front row seat to one of the most tumultuous series of protests in US history.
Ultimately, in the final stretch of the election, Webber finds himself at a Mike Pence rally, where he confronts the Vice President face to face. Throughout the film, Webber serves as his own attorney in court proceedings against The Trump Campaign and The Manchester NH Police, ultimately winning a combined settlement of $35,000 between the two.
The film includes interviews with Noam Chomsky, Jello Biafra, Daryle Lamont Jenkins, Michael Moore and many of the 2020 candidates.
