Chicano Arts Pioneer Takes On Globalization and War (tags)
Pioneering Chicano artist Malaquias Montoya was present at the creation of the Chicano rights movement in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, being one of the organizers of the Mexican American Liberation Arts Front (MALAF) who helped create the images of that movement. But he’s also involved with current social and political controversies. In his show “Globalization and War: The Aftermath,” through March 4 at the Centro Cultural de la Raza in Balboa Park, he takes on Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib, the U.S. government’s rationalization of torture (“softening them up for interrogation”), the growing gap between rich and poor in the U.S. and throughout the world, and other progressive themes in a bold, assertive and often brutal style derived from 20th century New York artist Ben Shahn and the Mexican muralists Orozco and Siquieros.

Atheist speaks at Montclair church: Addresses censorship and church-state separation violation in Rancho Cucamonga February 22, 2009 MONTCLAIR, California -- Dan Barker, influential atheist and co-president of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, addressed a full house today at the Monte Vista Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Montclair, a quiet community on the western end of San Bernardino County known more for its shopping mall than as a bastion of religious tolerance and freethought. One topic on the minds of many in the audience was the recent controversy surrounding a FFRF-sponsored billboard reading "Imagine No Religion" in the nearby city of Rancho Cucamonga. Despite the foundation's contract with the billboard company to display the message for a month, the sign was censored after a mere five days. Legal action against the city is pending.

LAPD suppresses radical art space (tags)
Imagine a place where people can come together to exchange ideas, create art, play music, and otherwise invest in a better world, starting here and now in Los Angeles. Some LA heads went beyond imagining and created it. After many hours of hard work and planning, they finally opened it up to the community to host a hip hop show, a benefit for next month's anarchist bookfair. The crowd was mostly young people from a variety of backgrounds and different parts of the city. Some of us were painting and organizing for the first Los Angeles Really Really Free Market, but mostly people were just bobbing their heads to the beats. We were obviously a threat to the system and the American way of life.

J23 Milk N Honey Protest (tags)
A small but vocal and lively group of 15 or so protestors picketed and marched out side of the Milk N Honey Restaurant (by the corner of Robertson and Pico) this Sunday. The demonstrators were out in force to protest the unfair labor practices of the owner of Milk N Honey. The demo started at 11:30, at which point the owners and friends Milk N Honey came out to the streets and started to harass the protestors, thouough intimidation and name calling. The owers also illegally parked their large-white Milk N Honey van's infront of the demonstration so the public could not see the protestors outside their establishment. The police were called to the scene about 30 mins after the protestors arrived on the scene. One of the protesters was struck in the face with her own video camera, when a supporter of Milk N Honey came out and struck her. The unidentified man was taken to jail for assault. The demostrators would "boo" when patrons broke the picket line and dined at Milk N Honey, and "cheered" when they were successfully able to help turn away patrons of Milk N Honey.
