INVITATION TO ATTEND, INVITATION TO SHOW YOUR WORK 

MAY 31 at Jones High School, State at Harrison, day-long TEACH-IN 
Building Democracy: Knowledge and Actoin in an Age of War and Repression

WORKSHOPS  and one is the VIDEO PROJECT

THE VIDEO PROJECT. NSC and CCAWR 
are working to get a network of videographers and 
photographers and PEOPLE showing and producing 
works. 

This is a proposal for a 
VIDEO PROJECT involving those, like me, 
who have videos, photos, digital images from 
our historical movement in solidarity. 

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT.
It is a fair presumption that people have lots of images 
from demonstrations, workshops and interviews. Some 
have edited video shorts which are very smart. 
Basic idea is to give people a chance to present and 
share with others, to talk about America's sham, 
its popularly opposed imperialist ambitions. 

THE PURPOSE IS to get these people with their 
images to show and a curious appreciative public 
together. Some people use cameras to document 
experiences; other people are hungry for good 
information.

People need to talk about  the on-going wars, 
and strategies to stop this insanity. These video 
photo settings should be very useful public 
education and developing consensus. 

We intend that it becomes on-going. 
Let's get ready for a FIRST PUBLIC SHOW 
end of June or sooner 

AGENDA - Sa my31 
1. Who we are and who we might be 
2. Consent on agenda 
3. Screen videos, show photos, talk and plan  
4. First show and subsequent ones (types, settings)  
5. Philosophically create umbrella consensus with VISION 

We think the premise is correct: We have a growing library of 
people's media documentation with limited audience, but that 
there are lots of people who'd like to see this stuff. 

At this workshop, May 31, we'll have 75 minutes to get 
down the agenda. People attending will decide what next to do. 

People have done camera documentation personally and seriously 
from the beginning. The techniques, equipment and basic methods 
should be common! It should be as common as the telephone, 
for it is a critically useful language. 

In Chicago we should have a recognized collective of 
videographers, photographers and public. Training 
should be freely accessible to anyone. People should 
have access to cameras, an editing suite and photo 
processing. 

A collective could facilitate the creating and 
sharing of videos, photo and power point shows.
