[Peace] AWARE Discussion

[Alfred Kagan]

Folks, here is the notice for our forthcoming discussion.


This Sunday from 1 to 2:30, Cliff Thornton will be stopping by the IMC 
to discuss the war on drugs and anti-racism work with AWARE members.  
Cliff is the founder of Efficacy (www.efficacy-online.org) and is in 
town for Forgiveness Weekend.  Cliff travels the world to help build 
coalitions to better fight racism and war.

Cliff will explain how the war on drugs is by far the biggest problem 
facing African-Americans, although many of them do not realize it.  He 
will talk about how most of the country does not fully understand how 
bad things have gotten because of the war on drugs.  Cliff will share 
this and other perspectives, in order to help members contextualize 
their anti-war and anti-racism work.

The discussion will include ample time for questions and strategizing, 
and Cliff and Danielle will illustrate examples of white privilege 
through stories related mostly to the war on drugs.  Organizers of the 
discussion hope it will help facilitate future anti-racism coalitions 
and organizing.
