The Bread and Puppet Theater is still performing  the "Circus of the
Possibilitarians" Tonight Sept. 26 at 6pm!

Because of the rain the venue has changed from Malcolm X Park to
indoors at the Josephine Butler Center.  The Josephine Butler Center is
located at 2437 Fifteenth Street, NW which is right on the east side of
Malcolm X Park at 15th and Chapin St.
The Center is a few blocks away from the Green Line - Columbia Heights

3. VENEZUELA PANEL

From:  russell at afgj.org

We’ve encountered several calendars of events listing the time for
Friday’s panel discussion with the Venezuelans as 6:00, instead of 4:30.
it’d be a shame for anyone to miss the event due to this mistake. I’ve
pasted the original announcement below. 

in solidarity,
