Date: Saturday 12th May

Time: 2pm – 5pm

Place: Community Meeting Room, Ground Floor, Brisbane Square Library.

This meeting is open to members of the public as well as those who support the Zeitgeist Movement to come along and be introduced to the Movement, it’s tenets and volunteers, and then go into some issues in greater depth. This month, the focus will be on establishing alternative communities and systems embedded into the existing one that are aimed at bringing about a humane future for all.

The Community Meeting Room is located on the ground floor between the escalators. Please beware the library closes at 3pm making it difficult to enter late. Free parking on Victoria Street can be found, otherwise there are reasonable rates under the Myer Centre; enter from  Elizabeth Street.

Please forward this event notice to those you think may be interested such as friends, family, associates and colleagues.

That’s right – you usually hear the phrase “think global, act local”, and we’ve decided to take it a step further with our globally networked Movement of local community-based action.

When we act locally and network globally everyone can be an activist. Believe it or not it takes more than people like Martin Luther King and Gandhi to change the world  - it takes little people like you and me! Taking small steps, making strong connections, and telling new, more positive stories are things we can all do to be the change we want to see.

The Zeitgeist Movement Australia’s latest Global Issues Awareness Campaign revolves around exactly that – local actions, globally networked. This month we’re kicking off a series of monthly local events, hosted by you! Yes – that’s right – hosted by you!

So what are these events and how do we make them happen?

Come join TZM Brisbane and unwind after ZDay!

Some free DVDs will be available for any newcomers who would like to view the documentaries in the Zeitgeist series.

Next month, we’ll start thinking about ZM Media Festival, ready to put on a great event that empowers and inspires in the drive for change.

The world’s largest coal mine is being developed 400km inland from Cairns, with a proposal to ship coal through the Whitsundays. There is no doubt that it will destroy existing jobs in tourism and agriculture, and hurt manufacturing across Queensland.

Actions and forums will be held in Queensland over the coming month. Don’t miss your chance to be involved and expose the propaganda of the mining industry for what it is. Events are to be held in both Cairns and Brisbane.

Otherwise there will be an opportunity for general discussion once the business side of the meeting is over – all members are invited to participate in this.
