Memorial Day weekend
COMMUNITY PANEL w/ MARILYN LEVIN, LYN MEZA & OTHERS
"Healing from Tragedy and Resisting a Bigoted Backlash"

Community Church of Boston is located in Copley Square, not far from the
finish line of the Boston Marathon where fatal bombings took place on 4/15.
Events such as these challenge our communities in several ways as we deal
with trauma from the bombings themselves, the ensuing police and military
response, and the predictable xenophobic and Islamophobic backlash. Join us
for a guided community discussion as we sort through feelings and ideas
about how we might best respond.

Marilyn Levin is the National Co-Coordinator for United National Antiwar
Coalition (UNAC), a Board member of the National Coalition to Protect Civil
Freedoms (NCPCF), and a founding member of the national Network to Stop
Drone Surveillance and Warfare (NSDSW).  Lyn Meza is the secretary of
Chelsea Uniting Against the War/Chelsea Uniendose en Contra de la Guerra and
retired Vice-President Of IUE-CWA Local 201.
