Dear Kevin,
Join hundreds of activists from all over the Northeast for Amnesty International's Northeast Regional Conference on November 9, 2013 at Boston University. This year's theme "The Power of Us" is homage to Amnesty's grassroots movement. The conference will feature prominent human rights defenders and leaders such as: Gabriel Bol-Deng, former lost boy from Sudan and founder of Hope for Ariang and Nepali journalist and former prisoner of conscience, Jitman Basnet. Register now! This conference will offer 2 sets of workshops focusing on a range of human rights issues and skill building. Learn about the crackdown on human rights in Russia in the lead up to the 2014 Winter Olympics, Women's Rights, Defending Article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which address the issue of human tracking. Learn how to effectively organize a student or local group in your community, creative campaigning, and how AI works in solidarity to defend individuals and communities at risk throughout the world. This is our story! Amnesty International's Northeast Regional Conference will provide you with the opportunity to become educated, inspired, and mobilized. Register Today! For more information contact me at cgabriel@aiusa.org or visit our conference event page. I hope to see you soon! Sincerely, Cynthia Gabriel Field Organizer Amnesty International USA | ||||||
This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
