There is on-street parking but this may take some time to find nearby
spots. Often best to park near your favorite T-stop and take the
subway in to either Copley (Green Line) or Back Bay (Orange Line).
There are also 2 close-by garages (that are fairly costly):

The Garage at 100 Clarendon (behind Back Bay Station)
The Prudential Garage

Event Description:
No matter the outcomes, every US presidential election is made
consequential by our prolonged crises of environment, economy, and
peace...

In a surreal political climate where corporations are endowed with the
rights of people and people are stripped of the their rights, three
distinguished activist thinkers and scholars come together to help us
think through the election results and how we should be responding.

Noam Chomsky, renowned linguist and political philosopher, Vijay
Prashad, the incisive commentator and analyst of global politics and
chronicler of the "Darker Nations," join Sam Christiansen, World
History scholar in an evening of conversation and reflection at the
Old South Church (http://goo.gl/maps/gHmn1).

"Unpeoples" is term from scholar Mark Curtis's (2008) analysis of
foreign policy, "Unpeople – those whose lives are deemed worthless,
expendable in the pursuit of power and commercial gain."
