<p class="MsoBodyText">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.</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText">Presentations will provide analysis and ideas for response from the anti-war, immigrants’ rights, civil liberties, anti-war, economic justice, and Muslim communities.</p>
<p class="MsoBodyText">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.</p>
