<h1>Protect yourself from profiling and preemptive prosecution </h1>
<div class="event-where">
<strong>When</strong>: <strong>THIS Saturday,</strong> September 24, 2011, 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm</div>
<p><strong>Where: </strong>Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, ISBCC <br>
100 Malcolm X Blvd • Roxbury Crossing</p>
<div class="content">
<p class="rteleft">The panel presentation will focus on how the ‘War on Terror’ climate and its exploitative legal practices in the federal justice system have affected civil liberties and human rights of Arab, Muslim, African American, South Asian, and all immigrant communities. </p>
<p class="rteleft">Representatives from the National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms (NCPCF), Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC), Project SALAM, Friends of Human Rights (FHR), Peace Thru Justice Foundation and others will be having a panel discussion about their political, social and legal campaigns around these very important issues to address how we can change these policies and build power for our communities. </p>
<p class="rteleft">Included in the panels are families who will share personal stories of struggles for justice. The goal of the program is to shed light on the conditions of families and communities suffering under the war on terror, mobilize our communities to change these repressive injunctions, and establish alliances across all communities for collective strength and positive social change.</p>
