Saturday, October 11th - Boston March and Rally Against the War
Submitted by johnha on Fri, 08/08/2008 - 03:33.Dear Friends,
March, 2008 ushered in the sixth year of war and occupation “without end” on Iraq. In an act of arrogance and impunity, Congress in a bipartisan vote approved another $162 billion in funding for the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. Stepped up threats against Iran and the increased likelihood of a U.S. troop “surge” into Afghanistan point to an imperative for action and an independent voice from the peace and justice movement.

The Democrats won a majority in the House of Representatives in 2006 on a popular mandate to bring the troops home and to stop the war at home against working people. As Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sets priorities for Congress.
Yet instead of listening to the people...
NANCY PELOSI:
• Approved another $162 billion for war in Iraq and Afghanistan
• Rubber stamped $400 million to destabilize and subvert Iran

Displaced not silenced! An evening with Eustaquio Polo
Submitted by evan on Fri, 03/21/2008 - 00:23.WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 2008, 7PM at Encuentro5
Nearly 4 million Colombians are displaced by state terror and by agribusinesses bent on turning land and water resources into export dollars...
Eustaquio Polo is a leader of displaced people battling to prevent their land from being turned into palm-oil plantations. As a consequence, he has been subject to death threats and accusations that he is a guerilla.
This event brings Polo to Boston, a city that has a close relationship with Colombia by way of immigration and because much of it's energy comes from Colombia.
Join us at 33 Harrison Ave, 5th Fl at 7PM on April 2nd to hear from an extraordinary grassroots people's leader.
Flyer for this event can be downloaded here
