Strike March 4th California and Pre-Game Communiqué

That’s Not the Sky, That’s the Ceiling.

With the slogan We Are The Crisis, California’s public and private universities, college and community college campuses are experiencing a mass wave of radicalism and revolutionary heat unseen in like forever. With whole academic departments and unions acting in solidarity with occupiers and strikers, the planned actions for tomorrow (March 4th) are gonna be interesting to say the least.

Get hip to the goings on in your area, how you can support the struggle, and the underlying issues at stake here.

Occupy Everything

Anti-Capital Project

In the Golden State with massive public sector cutbacks all ready in effect and more looming, with privatization schemes afoot in many cities and municipalities, with contract labor unemployment and under-employment the norm, with incessant rise in fees and costs, with stagnation and cons in Washington and Sacramento, the future has all ready slipped away. Now’s the time to act.

OCCUPY EVERYTHING

Let's help 'em get it done…

You may remember BOB FASS, the charismatic New York City counter-culture radioman, from 2005’s Arthur No. 13 (available from Arthur Store), wherein he spoke about his role in the 1967 exorcism of the Pentagon. Or perhaps you saw him profiled by Marc Fisher in the New Yorker in December, 2006. Now, thanks to the good folks who made the great Holy Modal Rounders documentary from a couple years back, we’re about to get a full-length documentary film on Bob and his long-running “Radio Unnameable” show. But first, they need help to get the job done. Here’s where you come in…

From the “Radio Unnameable” documentary Kickstarter page…

THE STORY Radio Unnameable is a documentary film about influential radio personality Bob Fass who revolutionized the FM airwaves by developing a patchwork of music, politics, comedy and reports from the street, effectively creating free form radio as we know it today. And for nearly 50 years, Fass has been heard at midnight on New York City listener-sponsored station WBAI. Radio Unnameable documents Fass’s eventful and controversial career, his involvement with some of the most gripping cultural movements of our time, while placing his story in a larger context of the struggle to keep free expression on the dial.

HOW FAR ALONG ARE WE?
We started shooting in Spring 2007 and are about to begin editing the film. Our goal is to finish by the end of 2010 then premiere at a major film festival in 2011.

WHY PLEDGE? WHAT WE NEED.
For the most part, we have been self-financing the film over the past few years. In order to meet our deadline to finish the project, we need your support…
