As CEOs, politicians and media glitterati schmoozed inside the Staples Center, a diverse crowd of demonstrators outside turned the streets into a multicultural festival of resistance against police brutality, the power of transnational corporations, the corruption of the electoral system, and the devastation wrought by the unrestrained globalization of capital. Alive in the Streets: DNC 2000 embraces the radical spirit of the protests, during which anarchists, human rights advocates, labor activists and progressives marched for economic, environmental and social justice, facing an army of highly militarized LAPD officers who didnнt hesitate tofire with riot shotguns. Alive in the Streets delivers with full force the vibrant message of the DNC 2000 protests, challenging corporate dominance of politics, economics and globalization.

Video Clips: Coming Soon Video Stills Total Running Time: 15 minutes Not Rated $6.00 +$3.00 s/h Ordering Info   Umpqua: Oregon's Threatened Paradise "I think it 's absolutely the most incredibly beautiful place in the universe," says a visitor to the Umpqua as she gazes upon one of the ancient forest's magnificent waterfalls. Above the Umpqua's waterfalls, the Forest Service has decided to cut down 15,000 log truck loads of trees. Less than 1% of our ancient forests still stand, and the Umpqua -- which stretches from Crater Lake National Park to Willamette National Forest and Deschutes National Forest -- is a vital part of that last 1%. Right now, the Umpqua is being destroyed through practices such as "broadcast burning" -- a horrid form of clearcutting that leaves swaths of forest in scorched ruins -- and "girdling," which cuts off trees' food supplies, creating artificial "snags" which must be removed to protect "loggers' safety." Eight roadless areas in the Umpqua will be logged and roaded over the next 3 to 4 years. The Forest Service has relentlessly pursued these timber sales, even though in the Snog timber sale, the timber company doesn't want to cut the trees because it will actually lose money. Yet the Forest Service is forcing the company to cut the trees, against an Umpqua National Forest recommendation that the Snog timber sale not be cut because it would damage the watershed. We must convince the Forest Service not to cut these trees, and we must take immediate action to stop the destruction of our forests before there is nothing left to protect.

Total Running Time: 90 minutes Available April 2001   A Year in the Streets The Cascadia Media Collective is compiling a 1-hour video celebrating a year of revolutionary actions against capitalist and corporate institutions worldwide. The video will contain all original footage shot by CMC members and comrades, starting with the N30 mobilization against the WTO in Seattle, then moving on to the A16 mobilization against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington, D.C., culminating with the LA/DNC mobilization in August and the remembrance of WTO Seattle (coming up on November 30, 2000, in Seattle). A Year in the Streets will also cover local and regional actions in Cascadia, such as the May Day march in Portland, Oregon; a protest against a gravel pit by organic farmers; and a lone direct action by a courageous activist to save a community garden from destruction by corporate development.
