SUMMARY:Talk: The revolution will not be violent
DESCRIPTION:This talk by A.Prof Marty Branagan\, Peace Studies\, University of New England which is partly about Rising Tide\, will be on 26 March in Arts Lecture Theatre 3 at UNE at 1pm. All welcome. \nA persistent trope from some leftists is that armed struggle is a necessary precursor to a more just\, sustainable and peaceful world. This paper argues that such a trope is not revolutionary but deeply conservative\, influenced by and supporting the aims of the global military-industrial complex and a flawed state system. The paper shows how the military-industrial complex influences societies down militaristic pathways through its think-tanks\, media stories\, influences on schools and universities\, and Hollywood connections\, and how this is reinforced by film and entertainment violence\, language\, history telling and parenting. Using data from a survey of contemporary climate activists\, I explore possible motives for violence before  discussing issues arising from the Myanmar and Gaza conflicts. I then explore nonviolent action and the benefits of nternationalising movements\, choosing appropriate strategies and tactics\, and utilising general strikes\, hunger strikes\, boycotts\, divestment and sanctions. Finally\, I discuss the recent Rising Tide blockades of the world’s largest coal export port in Newcastle\, and movement education about intersectional oppression\, forefronting of diversity\, commitment to egalitarianism\, cultural activism\, capacity-building\, and narrative control\, temporarily creating\, as Aboriginal musician Gurridyula put it\, an unarmed autonomous zone.

SUMMARY:Bike-Aid launch at mall markets — we help you to fix your bike
DESCRIPTION:Craig Johnson and Kade Smith are two experienced bicycle mechanics local to Armidale. They are launching their idea called Bike-Aid at the next monthly Armidale Mall Markets on April 26th. \nBike-Aid is an initiative to promote sustainable transport and local resilience by helping people maintain & repair their own bicycles. \nThe idea is to have a stall set up with a couple of bike stands\, tools and some basic spare parts. People can bring their bikes along and we will assist and teach them to carry out the necessary repairs. Guidance is free and any spare parts will need to be paid for by the bike owner. We will source much of the spare parts from our local bicycle shops. \nWe believe it is a timely project given the pressure the community is facing with fuel scarcity and rising costs. We also feel it will meet the following objectives: \n\nimprove public health\nencourage alternate sustainable transport\nconnect community\nshare skills\nencourage repair over replace\n\nIt will also be a great addition to the huddle of SLA stalls currently present at the Mall Markets.

SUMMARY:Armidale Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Armidale Farmers Market is on 2nd Sunday each month 8:30am–12:30pm at Curtis Park \nOne of the great advantages of Curtis Park is that many people will be able to cycle and walk to the market. We’re always working on new ideas and activities in the pipeline and are aiming to continue to provide a vibrant and quality market. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page and Instagram. \nIf you are a paid up member of Sustainable Living Armidale you are welcome to sell produce at the Armidale Local Food stall with a slice of profits going to paying for the stall and surplus goes to SLA which in turn propels new projects. \nBYO bags + reuseables\, we’re aiming for a plastic free zone!
