A special night with Noam Chomsky!
Thursday, September 4, 2014
doors open 6:30pm Chomsky "fireside chat" at 7pm
at Andala, a Palestinian Coffee House
286 Franklin St Cambridge (Central Square T-stop) *limited
seating; first come, first served the kitchen will be closed during this
event
Sami Herbawi, proprietor of Andala's, is hosting Professor Chomsky and is
inviting the public to come and take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet
Noam Chomsky in an intimate, charming setting, and benefit from what he has to
say about Gaza.
Please RSVP on this event page at facebook.
We intend to make this a night to remember!
Some details are in the
planning stage, but will hopefully include:
- Palestinian music
- A "wall" on which you can leave your thoughts, wishes, concerns, etc for our
allies in Gaza and the West Bank. We would share with them on the internet a
picture of the wall.
- Skype call-ins from Palestine, eg (after Noam's talk and while he is still
here).
- A short candle-light walk after the event to Central Square.
- For those who care to be interviewed, we hope to have reporters and
filmmakers on hand to capture the entire evening and to record your
thoughts, quotes, cares, suggestions, etc. Soon after the event, we would post
and distribute the video as part of an educational outreach program.
[Typically, events with speakers like Noam Chomsky attract what i call
the-see-and-be-seeners. But we could use some helpers! For
example, ushers. Please let me know if you are willing to help.]
We hope this event will encourage lots of you to join with us in
planning additional educational events - concerning not only Palestine but the
role our government plays in devastating the lives of all those we share the
planet with. Isn't it past time for a grand "citizens rising?" COTW on the
move! [Citizens Of The World]
As Chomsky
said regarding this latest assault on Gaza (2014): the US and Israel are
morally degenerate. We can't live with that. Can you?
Andala
will put out a guestbook for you to sign.
Please download and distribute our flyer (pdf file):
8 1/2 x 11
2 per page
Best wishes - we hope you will join us
on Thursday, September 4th, and sign our guestbook before you leave.
