Hi all,

Rev. Dan Dale is a friend of mine, we met on the Witness for Peace
delegation in Colombia.  He is an amazing theologian and activist.

Hearing him reflect on his life and future struggles should be
very thought-provoking. I hope you can joing us next Thursday, please
forward this announcement to others!  Flyers and more information about
this event will be available at the AWARE meeting on Sunday - Meridith

Who is Rev. Dan Dale?
     Dan was the lead organizer for the national Sanctuary Movement until
1987 when he and his family moved to El Salvador to work with the church of
the poor. After the signing of the Peace Accords, they returned to Chicago
in 1992 where he became the Director of the United Campus Ministry at UIC.
During the past ten years, Dan has continued to be active in Latin American
solidarity work including the movement to close the US Army School of the
Americas (SOA), defeat free trade agreements like NAFTA and FTAA, support
efforts for sustainable development for Central America and stop US
intervention in Colombia. As campus minister, Dan has also provided support
for Students Against Sweatshops, Graduate Employees Organization, and most
recently the Anti-War Movement. Recently, he was arrested for his civil
disobedience as part of an anti-war action in Chicago with Christian
Peacemaker Teams.

What is the Activist Forum?
     The Activist Forum is a Registered Student Organization and a program
of the Illinois Disciples Foundation, a peace with justice campus ministry.
Activist Forum features experienced social justice activists, who speak
about their activism on a personal level, giving practical advice,
describing their experiences and what sustains them as activists. These
forums also provide a sense of historical connection and support for younger
activists.
