THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING MANCHESTER FILM SCREENING
 

Star date: 6th May 2019

CLIMATE CHANGE NAOMI KLEIN STYLE

This Changes Everything
Saturday 11th May 2pm-5pm Free
Methodist Central Hall, Manchester

Next Saturday afternoon, 11th May, there's a free screening of the Avi Lewis film, This Changes Everything, narrated and inspired by the Naomi Klein book, looking at the relationship between capitalism and climate change. Loads of activists will also join a discussion after the film showing.

Full details here...


This Changes Everything is an acclaimed film by Avi Lewis, narrated and based on a book by the ace Naomi Klein, delving into the causes and effects of climate change.

"The film looks at seven communities from across the world, gathering the voices of those who have fought to expose capitalism's systemic relation to climate change" state the organisers of the free screening next Saturday 11th May at the Methodist Central Hall in Manchester.

"It builds towards the controversial and exciting idea that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform this failed system into something radically different" they add "The growing protests that we have seen recently in Manchester and across the globe led by young people #YouthStrike4Climate, shows the way forward."

Groups supporting the film include Greater Manchester Unite Community Branch, Campaign Against Climate Change, Frack Free Greater Manchester, Extinction Rebellion, Clean Air Greater Manchester and SERA (Labour's Environment Campaign), and activists will join a discussion after the screening to share ideas and strengthen existing networks.

Most of the green types I've known over the years have done very well from capitalism, mainly in well paid, taxpayer funded, middle class public sector jobs which are only available in rich capitalist countries. And while they preach to others about the importance of a frugal, restricted lifestyle in order to save the planet they do next to nothing themselves while they live as their incomes allow.

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

Star date: 17th May 2021

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
