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.  RSVP
