road trips… rap up!
rollin' in our bus...
all aboard!
Green Guerrillas are back from a couple of recent road trips in our biodiesel/veggie oil bus… we screened a pre-release version of our latest film (Green Guerrillas Blockumentary v.2.5: Green Grease Guzzlers is HOT off the “presses”) at the 2009 Northeast Climate Confluence and Philadelphia’s Scribe Video Center hosted us for its August 8th edition of Street Movies!
So… first trip first!
On August 1st, we headed out to Kanatsiohareke Mohawk Community to join with other youth/activists of color to build, grow, and expand our collective efforts to organize and strategize around both personal and community efforts to promote environmental balance, while resisting false, corporate-sponsored solutions to climate change.
got shelter?
takin' care of business!
Green Guerrillas were members of the Confluence’s collective of organizers from Providence, Boston, New York City, Albany, and elsewhere throughout the Northeast. So while we were certainly empowered by the process of helping to pull together dynamic workshops, strategy sessions, and panel discussions… we had even more fun setting up tents; playing flashlight tag; washing dishes (with Taina); cooking dinner with local/organic meat, dairy, vegetables; dancing under the stars to the sounds of Taina y La Bande Rebelde; and, sitting around the campfire talking with our Elders late in to the night!

Then, on Friday, August 7th we headed down to Philadelphia for a weekend of cinema under the stars!
For the second year in a row, Street Movies! highlighted Green Guerrillas shorts for the residents surrounding Clark Park in the Southwest section of the City. We met up with family and friends… hung out with Louis, Valerie, and Boone at Scribe Video Center… enjoyed tasty meals at our favorite Halal eatery on Walnut Street… and even had a few minutes to search for sustainable style!
Several folks checked out our Bus when we poked our heads in at the Anarchist People of Color Conference, and after the screening Saturday night.
Now that we are F I N A L L Y F I N I S H E D with Blockumentary v.2.5… yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay… look out for the trailer… stay tuned!
