She’s one of the heroes of Jill Sharpe’s documentary Culture Jam, which previews at 7 p.m. Sunday, September 15, 2002, at the Independent Media Center, 1415 Third Avenue downtown.

- On August 24, the Rolling Thunder Down Home Democracy Tour came to Renton, bringing not only music and entertainment but educational workshops on everything from globalization and healthcare to law enforcement and engineered food. Political discussions and statements – like the above against the impending war on Iraq – are at the center of the touring show, which was founded by Texan political agitator Jim Hightower.
