Move On Political Action

Let's keep the momentum going! Please sign up for this gathering right away! 

We could have a vote on health care reform by the end of next week, so it's time for action. Health insurers in MA and all over the country are already mobilized, continuing to pour billions of dollars into killing reform and ready to raise premiums for all MA residents. Now is the time to tell our Senators and Reps: If Big Insurance wins, we all lose! Let's get reform done!

In 1993 the Brazilian police massacred 21 people in Rio di Janeiro.  Out of the tragedy Grupo Cultural AfroReggae emerged - a community-based organization that takes youth out of shantytown gangs and fights back against violence with art.

Join us for a panel discussion with activist, journalist, and author Damian Platt as he discusses how culture has put violence and terror on notice in one of the most dangerous places in South America--and how activists in Boston are doing similar work every day.  Platt will be featured on Tom Ashbrook's "On Point" the morning of the event, his only stop in New England on his visit from Rio di Janeiro.

Panelists include:

SAPNA PADTE, Director of Consulting & Training, Teen Empowerment, Boston
