Sandgate feels the power of community

BRISBANE — More than 30 people attended a November 8 Green Left Weekly screening of The Power of Community — How Cuba Survived Peak Oil, at Sandgate Community Centre.

The audience included activists from the Pine Rivers Climate Action Network, a scientist, and members of the Socialist Alliance, Greens and ALP. After the film, the crowd discussed how to bring Cuba's lessons of sustainable development to Australia, noting the need for a society that puts the planet and humanity before the corporate bottom line.

"This is just the first of what we hope will be many more social justice films at Sandgate", said Mike Crook, a local activist and organiser of the event.

More than $100 was raised for the GLW fighting fund.
