[mgj-discuss] Teach In Schedule for the 4/13 Teach-In

[El-Amine, Zein]

TEACH-IN TO UNITE THE FIGHT FOR PEACE AND GLOBAL & LOCAL JUSTICE
Had enough of Bush's racist policies that attack the poor and roll back civil liberties?  Are you worried that the U.S. is perpetuating dangerous and racist policies in the Middle East?
Wondering how bombing women and children in Afghanistan is going to stop terrorism? What about the escalating situation in Colombia? What is the Bush Administration trying to do there?
Do you want to know more about how the IMF and the World Bank exploit people around the world and keep them trapped in poverty? And how does all of this affect you, here, in Washington, D.C. - a city where we don't even have representation in Congress?
Why are thousands of people coming to DC April 20th-22nd to protest???
Come to a teach-in on these and other important issues and learn what we can do about it.
