Memorial Celebration for Al Attara December 14 3pm

Austin Tang — Sat, 14 Dec 2024 18:21:05 +0000

Dear Friends,

It’s been a while, and I hope this email finds you all well.

I’m reaching out to share an invitation for those that might have missed the original email sent out recently…

After over 20+ wonderful years in the neighborhood, Earth Speaks will be closing its doors in the coming week, as Bi will be moving on to new creative ventures. Everything must go and is currently 50% off – please help support and spread the word

As a special farewell, Bi will be hosting a special store closing event for friends tomorrow Saturday Dec 14th from 3pm-8pm (see flyer + details from Bi below).

I hope you can come by!

Sending love to everyone.

Jen

ps.

Here’s a little video I meant to share with everyone ages ago! One of the last times many of us gathered in celebration of Al at Earth Speaks back in 2023

From Bi:

Hi friends, family, and neighbors,

After 24 wonderful years, Earth Speaks is closing its doors, and I’d love for you to join me in celebrating the memories and moments we’ve shared.

On December 14th, 2024, I’ll be hosting a store closing event, and I invite you to come and choose items that hold special meaning for me.

In the spirit of continuance beyond this farewell, I’m offering a “pay what you wish” donation pledge, with all proceeds going to the store’s GoFundMe fund.

Each item carries its own unique significance, and it would mean the world to both me and Al if you took a piece of this journey with you.

Thank you for your support over the years. I hope to see you there.
Warmly,

Bi Li

Dear Friends,

It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since Al’s passing.

I began writing several versions for this email invite, struggling to find the right words to express how much he is dearly missed.. each and every day.

With a profound sense of gratitude for all of the memories and wonderful connections he made possible-

I found myself crying, as I deleted each one…

And at the end of everything, all I could hear was Al’s voice, saying:

“Jen, just send the damn invite.”

So here it is.

If you’re in town, please join us for a (better late than never!) memorial service to celebrate the life of our friend Al.

Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly.

Hope to see you there.

HERO COP – Al Moreno

Austin Tang — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 19:09:11 +0000

http://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/last_street_cop.mp3 An interesting memoir from a guy who was a hero cop in LA in the 70s and 80s and then got shafted for whistleblowing on corruption. He can not only discuss his new book but he can lend insight on today’s crime issue – how will corona=depleted police handle their jobs? With the potential for looting and corona-caused crime, how will police prepare? With gun sales up at a near-record pace, are police equipped to handle crime spree that could happen as more people have no money?

UN International Day of Conscience April 5, 2020

The UN International Day of Conscience has come during a Pandemic when our World Needs Life Affirmation with a Conscience for Peace and Love for ALL

Founder Dr. Hong, Tao-Tze, Founder of FOWPAL, Federation of World Peace on March 5, 2020 at the Second World Sustainable Development Forum, Durango, Mexico stated, “The outbreaks and rapid spread of infectious diseases also pose great challenges. To stay healthy, humans must learn to live a balanced life, coexist harmoniously with nature, and cooperate with one another.”

At a World Leader Summit of Love and Peace, co-organized by the FOWPAL and the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the United Nations, on September 27, 2019 at the UN headquarters. H.E. Shaikh Hussam bin Essa Al Khalifa, President of H.R.H. Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa Sustainable Development Award Committee, shared a message of H.R.H. Prince Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain, regarding the UN’s adoption of Bahrain’s resolution designating April 5 as the International Day of Conscience.

“This day will be, from now on, a new, constructive, regular and consistent way to mobilize the international community’s efforts to promote peace for security of peoples and communities and achieve sustainable development goals.”

FOWPAL had created a major “LIVE EVENT” to be held in Times Square, New York City on April 5th, but on Monday March 9th decided to postpone this great event that was months in the making. Dr. Hong states, “It is in our conscience to have responsibility and mission to make actions and decisions that are based on Love and Peace. Postponing our major event meets our mission to care for the safety of all.”
Along with headline entertainment at the Times Square event, FOWPAL had planned to ring their Bell of World Peace and Love, which has been rung by 390 visionary leaders from 121 nations inc. 43 heads of state and government & 7 Nobel Peace Prize laureates.
