The new theatre event “The Einstein Plan” takes its title from renowned scientist and humanist Albert Einstein, who suggested that if as little as 2% of the population engaged in non-violent civil disobedience, the government would not be able to operate as usual. The people could bring government to a standstill long enough for legislators to be forced to actually listen to their constituents.

This play and Howard Zinn's appearance was scheduled before Howard's passing on January 27, 2010. Howard Zinn was a friend, mentor and inspiration to those of us involved in this production. Howard Zinn was a committed activist, who lived a daily reminder that "Democracy is Not A Spectator Sport." America has lost a good friend great thinker and leader. It is incubment upon all of us now to "step it up." Howard wrote this play to be a lasting legacy for us to do exactly that in "Marx in Soho." "Though it's obvious he is speaking as Marx, the sentiments are clearly Zinn's."

Rather than court trials, the architects of the Afghanistan and Iraq occupations and countless illegal acts of torture are out on national speaking tours-and we're keeping track of where they're going so we can hold them accountable for their war crimes! For a detailed list of the crimes of some of these people, see this page. We are pressuring the current government to prosecute not only the war criminals including: Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush, Jay Bybee, John Yoo, Paul Wolfowitz, Paul Bremer, Alberto Gonzalez, Ehud Olmert, and more! Keep note of when the Obamas are in town as well-we need to keep encouraging them to promote peace and healthcare, not warfare! Click on the website link to see our War Criminal Calendar!
