15 marzo, roma, casetta rossa: dibattito sul referendum costituzionale

Domenica 15 marzo, alle 18:30, in via G.B. Magnaghi 14, Roma, alla CASETTA ROSSA, dibattito con

– Gaetano Azzariti, Professore Ordinario di Diritto Costituzionale, Università “La Sapienza” di Roma
– Paola Bevere, avvocata, Giuristi Democratici
– Maria Rosaria Guglielmi, magistrata, Magistratura Democratica
– Gianluca Peciola, attivista per i diritti umani

A seguire, aperitivo di autofinanziamento della Casetta.

facebook.com/share/1HsNEPR97k/

Il 22 e il 23 marzo si vota per il referendum sulla giustizia: peccato che di “giusto” ci sia ben poco. Una riforma approvata a colpi di maggioranza, ispirata a principi estranei a quella Costituzione che non vorrebbero solo cambiare ma stravolgere.
Ne parliamo con esponenti di ogni settore giuridico, Accademia, avvocatura e magistratura, per comprendere quanto sia in pericolo l’attuale assetto istituzionale e democratico, approfondendo le ragioni di un convinto NO al quesito.

🗓️ Domenica 15/03
🕦 18:30

A seguire, aperitivo di autofinanziamento.

Demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights

✨ Big news. We’re making history! ✨

Over 506,000 people across Europe have signed for Justice. For Palestine.

More than half a million Europeans are demanding that the EU stop trading with war criminals and suspend the EU–Israel Association Agreement.

*

In just over a month, we became the fastest-growing European Citizens’ Initiative in EU history.

This is what people power looks like. This is what solidarity in action looks like.

But this is just the beginning.

Sign and invite your friends to sign, every signature brings us one step closer to justice!

mirrormask / dave mckean. 2005

[youtube=youtube.com/watch?v=NHHE2hsTJf…]

When Jim Henson Productions and Sony wanted to make something along the lines of Jim Henson’s “The Dark Chrystal” or “Labyrinth” they approached graphic novelist Neil Gaiman and illustrator Dave McKean, who had previously collaborated on the graphic novel series “Black Orchid” (1988), “The Sandman” (1989-1996) and children’s book “Coraline” (2002). The result was this very artful journey through a fantasy world. Almost every scene is chock-full of imaginative designs and special effects for which about 15 young animators were hired, almost all of them just graduated from the local art school.

The songs in the soundtrack are “(They Long To Be) Close to you” (a cover of the classic written by Burt Bacharach & Hal David), sung by Josefine Cronholm, and “If I Apologise” (written by Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman) sung by Josefine Cronholm & Ashley Slater.
