SUMMARY:Life Without Parole - Author Kenneth E. Hartman
DESCRIPTION:Kenneth E. Hartman’s sentence to live without parole was recently commuted by Governor Jerry Brown after he had spent 35 years in prison. He is now an activist for prison and sentencing reform\, as well as a writer.  This afternoon\, Mr.  Hartman will read from his book\, Mother California: A Story of Redemption Behind Bars\, the fierce and affecting memoir of a convicted murderer\, whose growing self-awareness enables him to understand his crime and achieve redemption. \nIn 1980\, Kenneth E. Hartman murdered a homeless man in a Los Angeles area park after a drug-fueled binge. Sentenced to life without the possibility of parole by the state of California\, Hartman was soon considered a potent force by the system’s most brutal convicts. To the hellish chaos of a maximum-security prison he brought his own limitless propensity for violence—he often spent months at a time in solitary confinement\, “the Hole.” \nAfter years in the cold embrace of the state prison system\, Hartman discovered a vocation for writing; he also met\, through a chance phone call\, the woman he would marry and have a child by. With poignancy and self awareness\, Hartman chronicles the anarchy and brutish moral code that rules in some of the world’s most infamous prisons\, where physical punishment is the only form of control. Over time\, Hartman evolves into a sentient being; follows his newly discovered spiritual and literary inclinations; and learns to deal with his demanding responsibilities as a family man. The final chapter describes his development of the Honor Program\, which helps motivated prisoners escape the ravages of incarceration. \nMother California is the story of a man who did not succumb to the darkness of the only world left to him. It offers definite proof that there is no such thing as a life beyond redemption.

SUMMARY:The Fight Against Monsanto's Roundup: The Politics of Pesticides
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, former Benicia Unified School District groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson won a settlement for the cancer he got as a result of using Round Up produced by Monsanto\, which was bought by Bayer. In his new book The Fight Against Monsanto’s Roundup: The Politics of Pesticides author Mitchell Cohen describes how the herbicide glyphosate has caused cancer in workers and members of our community at large. In the trial it was discovered that Monsanto had conspired to keep medical information secret which showed this was a dangerous substance\, and Johnson’s likely death will be the result of their negligence in pursuit of profits. Cohen looks at the politics behind the pesticide chemical industry\, and why it is not being held accountable.\n\n\nThe San Francisco Labor Council this year also passed a resolution calling on the California Attorney General to remove “Round Up” from the shelves in California. \n  \n Special appearance by Juror #4 from the landmark verdict against Monsanto in Dewayne Johnson’s trial in which the corporation was originally ordered to pay $289 million but after they appealed\, was reduced to $78 million.\n\n\n\nIn conjunction with LaborFest 2019.
