Dear Friends,
The last couple of years have been both angering and frustrating. What the hell is going on? How do you make sense out of it? Who understands the economy? Is it really as complicated as they make it seem? What do we do about it?
Our friends at the Moonstone Arts Center have put together a five part series called Class Warfare in Philadelphia to help us understand what has been happening and how people have been responding.
Legislative efforts to finally close the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation or WHINSEC (formerly known as the School of the Americas or SOA) need more support.
As Congress and the American public have focused their attention on spending, the closing of the SOA/WHINSEC should be an appealing venture for citizens across the political spectrum. Through the closing, millions of tax-payer dollars would be saved each year, while improving U.S. relations in Latin America.
With gardening gloves on and a determined attitude, Jamie Moffett and friends began the project to clean up an overgrown, abandoned lot filled with trash and dirty needles and transform it into a useful space for the local community.
At 3311 Rand Street in the Kensington neighborhood there lies an empty lot filled with nothing more than tall grass and weeds, hiding some of the trash, tires, and needles that clutter below. The space offers nothing of use to anyone in the neighborhood, except for drug dealers, who unfortunately use the lot for a meeting place to deal and a secluded place to use.
Jamie Moffett Media Design and Production releases a video entitled 'Dear Netflix.com' as part of the Facebook campaign to bring the feature-length films Return to El Salvador and The Ordinary Radicals to Netflix, making them easily accessible to a larger audience.
The Jamie Moffett Media Design & Production staff is pleased to announce The Ordinary Radicals feature documentary is now available through the iTunes Store.
“It’s a remarkable chance to share this critically important film with a wider audience,” said Director Jamie Moffett. “A film such as The Ordinary Radicals takes many years of hard work to create. We're excited to share this story through iTunes.”

"The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia supports the ongoing effort to build a park on the inactive Reading Viaduct. This new park would provide much needed green space to several Philadelphia neighborhoods and connect them together in a way that is not possible via the street grid. Connecting neighborhoods via new green space will raise property values, promote economic development, and enhance their livability. Turning this 19th century infrastructure into a viable 21st century public amenity will make an important contribution to Philadelphia's revitalization."

The Jamie Moffett Media Design & Production team recently took a field trip to the Reading Viaduct. For most, it was their first time finally getting to see the vibrant contrast of overgrown green foliage against the rusted red metal of the forgotten tracks.
Upon arrival, the team made their way through a hole in a fence and began to trek up the hill, relying on one another for support so that nobody disappeared into the brush. When the last of the group finally made it to the summit, they all paused and soaked in the environment around them. It was hot, it was still, and although overgrown with foliage and littered with metal, it was undeniably breathtaking.
More than 20 years after El Salvador’s top military leaders were first accused of horrific acts during the civil war there, a Spanish judge issued warrants for their arrest, charging them for the gruesome planning and killing of six Jesuit priests in 1989.
Judge Eloy Velasco Nuñez of Spain’s National Court accused the Salvadoran militants of “carrying out the most execrable crimes against people merely to impose their strategies and ideas.”
