                                                            	PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT 2 BAY AREA FORUMS ON THE THREAT TO OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES:  The SF 99% Coalition has organized two forums with great panelists on July 29 and July 31 to raise awareness of the NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) and the threat it poses to our civil liberties*.  (See below for details.)  Please join us at either or both of them to learn more about it and what we can do.  And please forward this announcement to anyone (individuals and organizations) you know who might want to learn more about the threat to our human, political and civil rights and liberties posed by the NDAA and other related laws and policies coming out of Washington DC lately.  Thanks!  -Art Persyko, for the SF 99% Coalition



The San Francisco 99% Coalition invites you to a panel discussion:
Our Vanishing Civil Liberties—Why it Matters, Now!
at two dates and locations in the Bay Area:
Sunday, July 29, 1 pm in San Francisco at the Unitarian Universalist Center, 1187 Franklin at Geary
Tuesday, July 31, 7 pm in Oakland at the Oakland Peace Center, 111 Fairmount at 29th 
*What's this all about?  Late last year, President Obama signed an annual military funding bill -- the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA -- including controversial provisions that could authorize the US military to indefinitely detain anyone in the US without trial. The statute is so vague that anyone could be detained in military custody: mere suspicion of association with potential terrorists (or, for that matter, disfavored demographic or political groups) could suffice. The war on terror has long undermined our civil liberties and enabled ethnic profiling.  The NDAA exacerbates that sad, outrageous, and continuing history.  

Two diverse panels will provide analysis, explore potential grassroots responses, and address questions from the audience. 

Panelists in San Francisco on Sunday, July 29 at 1 pm:
 
 
Shahid Buttar, Executive Director, Bill of     Rights Defense Committee
 
Nancy Mancias, Code Pink Accountability     Campaigner
 
Grace Shimizu, Asian Americans for Peace and     Justice Organizer
 
Ashwak Hauter, Arab Resource and Organizing     Center 


Panelists in Oakland on Tuesday, July 31, 7 pm:
 
 
Shahid Buttar, Executive Director, Bill of     Rights Defense Committee
 
Bob Meola, member of Movement for a Democratic     Society-Bay Area
 
Debra Small of Break the Chains
 
Lee Tien, Senior Staff Attorney for the     Electronic Frontier Foundation
