What's It Going to Take to Free Palestine?


Thursday * June 3 * 7PM

Media Education Foundation

60 Masonic St., Northampton, MA

(1) With the recent war crime committed by Israeli commandos against humanitarian aid activists attempting to bring much-needed assistance to a besieged, starving Gaza, the first section of our weekly meeting will highlight this atrocity, discuss organizing for a local emergency response, and place it in the context of the struggle for Palestinian Liberation.

Relevant talks on Palestine at the upcoming Socialism 2010 conference (http://socialismconference.org/) will also be highlighted.

(2) An assessment of the recent protest against Arizona's anti-immigrant SB 1070 bill, and a discussion of next steps in organizing against this racist legislation.

(3) A report on Jason Vassell's recent and upcoming hearings, and the latest news on the struggle for Justice for Jason (http://justiceforjason.org/)
