36th Annual Sacco-Vanzetti Award for Social Justice
HONORING TAREK MEHANNA

It is with great joy that the Community Church of Boston honors Tarek
Mehanna with the 36th Annual Sacco & Vanzetti Social Social Justice Award.
We will gather to celebrate this man's commitment to his community and the
rights and dignity of oppressed peoples throughout the world, and to condemn
the persecution he has endured for exercising his right to free speech and
expression. We will also celebrate the struggles of all justice seekers and
remember the lasting legacy of Sacco & Vanzetti.

Speakers include Laila Murad, Kate Bonner-Jackson, David Rothauser, friends
& family of Tarek and more!

Many in Massachusetts know the travesty of justice that the Sacco & Vanzetti
case represented. The Community Church of Boston strives to keep alive the
memory of these two Italian immigrant anarchists who were unjustly targeted,
by reminding the world that the same kind of injustices that occurred in the
1920's and throughout history continue today. Tarek Mehanna is one of many
people still seeking justice.
