[Hamp-law] Law Lunch W, 10/26 -- Director of Bill of Rights Defense Committee

[Flavio Risech]

Please join us for the first Law Lunch of the semester this 
Wednesday, Oct. 26, from noon to 1 p.m. in the Dakin Living Room.
NANCY TALANIAN, a co-founder and founding director of the BILL OF 
RIGHTS DEFENSE COMMITTEE (BORDC), will speak on "GRASSROOTS RESPONSE 
TO POST-9/11 CIVIL LIBERTIES THREATS."   The BORDC, a national 
organization based here in Northampton, MA, has stimulated and 
co-ordinated the passage of nearly 400 state and local government 
resolutions and 53 campus resolutions opposing parts of the USA 
PATRIOT Act and other post-9/11 laws and policies that threaten civil 
liberties.   October 26, the fourth anniversary of the USA PATRIOT 
Act, is an excellent time to hear about the work of this important 
organization.

Delicious Middle Eastern food will be served!  Please announce this 
widely and come for lunch and a stimulating conversation.
