[Peace] ISO discussion of UK uprising - 6pm tonight (Mon), Illini Union rm405 (and note David Cobb IMC talk @ 8pm)

[Stuart Levy]

Besides the 8pm tonight talk by David Cobb in the IMC,
see also this 6pm tonight event by the ISO in the Illini Union:


Tonight, Mon 8/22, 6:00PM, UofI Illini Union room 405:

The U-C branch of the International Socialist Organization (ISO)
will discuss the riots ongoing in the UK:

   "Yes, we know violence on the streets in London is bad. Yes, we know that
    looting shops is wrong. But why is it happening now? Because grievances build
    up over time, because when the system wills the death of a young black citizen
    from a deprived community, it simultaneously, if subconsciously, wills the
    response."

    "The roots of the riots in Britain"

David Cobb's 8pm talk tonight at the IMC, on corporate rule and democracy,
