<h3 style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><em><font color="red">A forum sponsored by United for Justice with Peace</font></em></h3>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><b>Monday, May 20, 7:00 pm<br>
Cambridge Friends Meeting<br>
5 Longfellow Park</b> (off Brattle St)</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">As we continue to grieve the devastating impact the Marathon bombings have had so many families and communities affected here in Boston, 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.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">This forum will include presentations that provide analysis and ideas for response from the immigrants' rights, civil liberties, antiwar, and Budget for All movements, and the Muslim community. Can we change the negative discourse? Are there new ways we can work together? There will be ample time for discussion and everyone is invited.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><img src="http://justicewithpeace.org/files/u415/BostonMarathonSpeakers2.jpg" width="500" height="112" alt=""></p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Speakers to include:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<b>Carlos and Melida Arredondo</b> are members of Military Families Speak Out. Carlos’ quick action saved a life during the bombing. They became anti-war activists after Carlos' 20-year-old eldest son Lance Corporal Alexander Arredondo died in action in Iraq in 2004. Carlos was at the scene of the Boston Marathon bombing and helped save the life of a victim, Jeff Bauman.</li>
<li>
<b>Joseph Gerson</b> directs the Peace and Economic Security Program at the American Friends Service Committee. He lives four houses from the boat in which Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured and had a resident’s eye view of the massive Watertown manhunt</li>
<li>
<b>Gladys Vega</b> is Executive Director of the Chelsea Collaborative and a tireless advocate for immigrant rights.</li>
<li>
<strong>Cyrus McGoldrick</strong> is Civil Rights Manager at the New York chapter of CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations. A recent graduate of Columbia University, he is an American Muslim activist and lyrical artist of Iranian and Irish descent. Cyrus also serves on the Advisory Council for Getting Out & Staying Out, a program dedicated to helping young men coming out of prison stay out of prison, and he performs original music as The Raskol Khan, blending reggae and jazz melodies with hip-hop lyrics and Islamic activism.</li>
<li>An attorney with the <b>National Lawyers Guild</b> will address civil liberties issues raised by the bombing and aftermath.</li>
