** FREE FILM SHOWING ** RACHEL: AN AMERICAN CONSCIENCE Wednesday, August 3, 6:30 -9:00 PM Palatine
Public Library, 700 N. North Court,
|
|
RACHEL: AN AMERICAN CONSCIENCE is a documentary about a 23
year old American who gave her life defending human rights and freedom two
years ago. With her death, Rachel Corrie's work and message became a beacon
of hope in a sadly dark world. The movie explores Rachel’s work and that of
others working for peace in the Middle East. The movie played to a
packed house at its Chicago Premiere. Yahya Barakat, director of this powerful 90
minute documentary, goes beyond the politics of the Occupation to depict
the facts on the ground. For more information visit www.nwsustain.org Sponsored
by NW SUSTAIN and the Chicago chapter of the International
Solidarity Movement. Recently returned volunteers will be available for
discussion after the movie |

New Chicago ISM Support Group
The International Solidarity Movement is a Palestinian-led
movement of Palestinian and internationals that uses nonviolent direct action
to challenge and confront the illegal Israeli occupation. Despite ongoing
attacks on Palestinians and on Rachel Corrie, Brian Avery, and Tom Hurndall,
ISM activities will continue.
Other cities around the U.S. have strong ISM support groups but Chicago does
not at this point in time. We invite all interested parties to join us to
explore the feasibility of starting a local ISM support group in Chicago. The
purpose of a support group would be to recruit, train, partially fund and do
local support work for volunteers going to Palestine to work with ISM. Members
of a local support group would also engage in solidarity actions with the
Palestinian community.
