THE HISTORY OF September 11th, I'm ___________________ .

AND I'M ___________. TODAY IN 1973: The democratically elected Chilean government of Salvador Allende falls to a bloody U.S.-supported military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet [au-GOOS-toh PEE-no-shay]. The dictator immediately will kill or "disappear" hundreds.

In coming years, thousands more will disappear. On September 19th, 1974, U.S. intelligence sources will reveal that striking Chilean labor unions, instrumental in destabilizing the Allende government, were secretly bankrolled by the CIA.

It’s today’s Action Calendar!

Tonight, The Natural Step Monona screens the film Dive! at Green Tuesdays. The film shows our country's careless habit of sending food straight to landfills, highlighting dumpster divers who salvage thousands of dollars’ worth of edible food from behind Los Angeles supermarkets. Special presenter, Chris Brockel, Food and Gardens Division Manager with Community Action Coalition, will share a local effort to reduce food waste. This is a free presentation tonight at 6:30 pm at the Monona Public Library, 1000 Nichols Road in Monona.  The complete calendar of Green Tuesdays & Thursdays events is on The Natural Step Monona website at tnsmonona.org.
