Film Night: "View from a Grain of Sand" about Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA)

     This film provides a human portrayal of a history of Afghanistan through the lives of three unique and powerful women. It takes place in a refugee camp
in Kabul, Pakistan where the women have fled with their families. Beginning in the 1980's with the story of Wajeeha, whose husband was killed in battle, and
who was saved by the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA). She makes it her life purpose to fight for women's rights and teach other
women to read and write as she had been taught by RAWA.

Next is Roeena, a doctor, who, along with her family, flees the violence of Afghanistan in the early 1990's. After witnessing the brutality inflicted on other women she swears off marriage to put all her energy towards treating them.

Gary MooreheadSpeaker: Gary Moorehead, Field Director, Marigold Fund (right)

AFSC, 2161 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge

Thursday, May 14, 7:00 p.m.

Amherst-based Gary Moorehead, Field Director of the Marigold Fund, has recently returned from Takhar Province, Afghanistan.  Marigold is a people-to-people effort to help Afghans rebuild their country after decades of war and to establish friendship and understanding between Afghans and Westerners.   In Takhar,  Marigold sponsors a midwife training program, is building a tuberculosis clinic, and is setting up a vocational training project which manufactures school furniture.

Building a Marigold projectCan locally-based reconstruction efforts like Marigold make the difference in Afghanistan?   Although President Obama said he favors reconstruction aid, his policy spends over 90% of the Afghanistan-Pakistan money on military, including 21,000 troops and drone aircraft raids.   The aid money that is provided is channeled through large-scale bureaucracies which waste much of the aid money and do little to build up Afghan civil society.

BOYCOTT

       DIVESTMENT AND

             SANCTIONS

to end the Israeli Occupation of Palestine 

 

Speaker: Nancy Murray

Respondent: Martin Federman

 

THURSDAY, MAY 21, 7 PM

Friends Meeting House, 5 Longfellow Park, Cambridge

 
____________________________________________________________________________
 
In 2005, over 100 Palestinian civil society groups called for “international civil society organizations and people of conscience all over the world to impose broad boycotts and implement divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era”
 
In response to this call, many groups around the country are engaged in boycotts, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) efforts, which are having an impact.
 
Come to a forum to learn more about BDS and the “Hang Up on Motorola” campaign and to discuss whether this campaign might be an effective tool to help bring peace to the Middle East.

Washington proclaimed itself the savior of Afghanistan when it invaded that country in 2001—the opening shot in its “global war on terror.” Eight years later, that image is fading in the eyes of the local population, which has witnessed village after village bombed by U.S. forces seeking to rout Islamist fighters.

Dr. George Tiller

Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed Sunday morning while serving as an usher at his church in  Witchita ,  Kansas .  Since the 1970s, Dr. Tiller has provided critical abortion and reproductive health care at great personal risk. In doing so, he has saved the lives and futures of countless women and girls across the country.  His murder is a tragedy for his family, friends, and colleagues.  It is also a tragedy for the women who need his care and for the entire community of health care providers and advocates, and for all of us who believe in a woman's right to dignity and self-determination.  Please join us in honoring this great man who truly lived by his motto to "Trust Women."

Join the  Boston community in sharing our grief and celebrating the life of Dr. George Tiller, a true hero for women across the country.

Returning War Veterans:  Challenges in Continuing Mental Health Care

 

Friday, June 5, Returning War Veterans:  Challenges in Continuing Mental Health Care, 2:30-5pm, Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, 221 Rivermoor Street, Boston (West Roxbury). Veterans returning from war carry emotional and brain injuries that are long-lasting and call for protracted care beyond crisis intervention. Is our mental health system and our society—traditionally geared to acute care of acute problems—willing and able to provide this care?
