[Antiracism] [Solidarity Calendar] Movie Night Feb. 19, 2009 at Arise!!

[WMass Jobs With Justice]

From: jjc886 at comcast.net



Hello everyone,

Arise is hosting an event open to everyone on the Israeli-Palestine issue!

Due to the recent Israeli invasion of the Gaza strip, and the ensuing violence, the chance for a peaceful settlement of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians seems to be slipping away. With that said, it is imperative that everyone understand the truth about what is going on in the occupied territories--not what the U.S. media is saying. We are showing the movie Palestine Is Still The Issue by Jon Pilger, followed by a discussion open to everyone on recent events and the chances for peace. Light refreshments will be served. 

The event will take place at Arise For Social Justice, 467 State Street, Springfield Ma, 01101. The date of the event is Thursday Feb. 19 from 7-9 p.m. Please come!

If anyone has any questions or comments, please email me back at jjc886 at comcast.net.

Founded in 1987,  <http://www.jwj.org/> Jobs with Justice's mission is to improve working people's standard of living, fight for job security, and protect workers' right to organize. We believe workers' rights are human rights and to be successful, we have to be part of a larger campaign for economic and social justice. 

 

To that end, "J with J" has created a national coalition and a network of local coalitions that connect labor, community, student, and faith-based organizations and activists on workplace and community social justice campaigns.  Western Mass JwJ – founded June 5, 1993 – is now a coalition of almost 60 organizations.
