"*Boston Marathon Bombings: Impact and Response*"

*/A forum sponsored by United for Justice with Peace/*

As we grieve the devastating impact of the Marathon bombings had on many  
families and communities in the Boston area, we are also aware of the need to  
examine the impact of those bombings on peace and justice issues in our  
communities, campaigns and organizing.

Presentations will provide analysis and ideas for response from the anti-war,  
immigrants’ rights, civil liberties, anti-war, economic justice, and Muslim  
communities.

How do we change the violent discourse and build solidarity between our  
movements? There will be ample time for discussion, and the forum is open to  
the public.
