*This is part of the Great Discussion series, which requires registration. See details below.
The pendulum of Latin American politics is swinging rightward once again. Yet as the “pink tide” recedes, the forces of change have more to do with socioeconomics than ideology. Dramatic economic and political crises have coincided in countries like Brazil and Venezuela. Still, the final result for Latin America may be the emergence of centrist, pragmatic modes of governance, and with them, opportunities for the U.S. to improve relations. The new administration must look beyond the neoliberal model of the 1990s, and develop an approach to relations fit for the 21st century.

The Producers has gotten rave reviews, and this is the final weekend to see it – so come check out the show and support our wonderfully talented Theater Department.
The final weekend of the Theater’s production of “The Producers; A Mel Brooks Musical” is this Fri., May 19 through Sun., May 21. Tickets are available at the door or at Brown Paper Tickets.
The Producers is based around the character of Max Bialystock, a down and out Broadway producer whose latest work flopped on opening night. Max, plagued by his former success and scrambling to stay afloat, experiences a change in fortune when downtrodden accountant, Leo Bloom, discovers there is money to be made in Max’s theatrical failure. As a result, the two formerly defeated business men form an unlikely union with the goal of creating the world’s worst musical.
The plot develops as the duo enlists the help of ridiculous and often farcical characters on the way such as former Nazi and on-going Third Reich enthusiast Franz Liebkind, Ulla the blonde bombshell secretary/receptionist and the flamboyant homosexual director Roger De Bris. As a result of the characters’ combined brainpower and ludicrous behavior, “Spring Time for Hitler” is born in Broadway.
Performances in the Main Campus Theater – 1600 Bldg.
Friday & Saturday, May 19, 20 at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday matinee, May 21 at 3 p.m.
Tickets:
General Admission: $20.00
Seniors, Staff, & students: $16.00
Shoreline Community College Students/Children: $12
FREE PARKING
Beer, wine, & refreshments available for purchase.

10:30a-11:30a: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS WITH POLICE (Room 9208)
Join Lila Silverstein of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for this informative workshop and get to know your rights! We rely on the police to keep us safe and treat us fairly regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, origin, or religion. This session provides tips for interacting with local law enforcement.
12:30p-2:30p: WALKOUT – FILM (Room 9208)
The 2006 film Walkout is a dramatization of the historic 1968 walkout in Los Angeles, a Chicanx student-led protest responding to untenable learning conditions and systemic racism in the schools. This film highlights the experiences of students in East Los Angeles protesting academic prejudice and dire school conditions. An award-winning film producer and community activist, Moctesuma Esparza, helped organize the 1968 walkout and was arrested and jailed along with 12 others for conspiracy to disturb the peace. This film helps center the organization of Chicanx students in the struggle for a voice in activism.

11a-12p: CIVIC ENGAGMENT PANEL – Use Your Voice: How to Engage in Local Politics (Room 9208)
Join ASG Governmental Affairs officer, Juan Chavez, for a panel discussion with Shoreline Mayor, Dr. Chris Roberts.

On the council, he serves as a member of the Association of Washington Cities Legislative Committee, the Sound Cities Association Public Issues Committee, and as an alternate to the Puget Sound Regional Council Growth Management Policy Board. Attend this panel to learn more about current local political context, how to get involved, and be a voice for positive change.
12:30p-1:30p: “ECHAO P’ALANTE” – Working towards an inclusive & intersectional understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement (Room 9208)
The Civil Rights Movement did not just start in 1954 and end in 1964. Our primary school education, history books, and associated media have in many ways collapsed and limited our understanding of the US Civil Rights Movement by esteeming certain types of action and actors while vilifying others, often at the expense of the collaborative movements that many have worked so hard to build. This workshop will draw on a variety of media in order to highlight multiple forms of resistance and sustained struggle against oppression culminating in all of the participants working together to build an inclusive and intersectional timeline of the Civil Rights Movement.
