601 W. 13th Ave.

With brief introduction by CLDC's Executive Director, Lauren Regan
COINTELPRO 101 exposes illegal surveillance, disruption, and outright murder committed by the U.S. government in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. "COINTELPRO" refers to the official FBI Counter Intelligence Program carried out to surveil, imprison, and eliminate leaders of social justice movements and to disrupt, divide, and destroy the movements as well. Many of the government's crimes are still unknown.
Through interviews with activists who experienced these abuses first-hand and with rare historical footage, the film provides an educational introduction to a period of intense repression and draws relevant lessons for present and future movements

Dan Piraro: "Bizarro" Cartoonist
September 27th, 2pm
Downtown Eugene Public Library
Free
Celebrate freedom of expression with "Bizarro" creator Dan Piraro at an entertaining and informative illustrated talk in honor of Banned Books Week. Among people concerned about censorship, newspaper cartoonists rank high. Amidst the constant flood of feedback about their work from readers and publishers, cartoonists directly experience others' impulses to censor messages that are disagreed with, feared, or not understood.
In person, Piraro's intriguing perspective on life flows beyond the cartoon frame into a wide-ranging comedic conversation. He stirs up controversy, inspires revelations, and pokes fun at everyone along the way, including himself.
