Colombia Vive Fundraising Barbecue/Asado
With special guest Avi Chomsky, professor of history and coordinator of the Latin American Studies program at Salem State College
Sunday, July 20 4:00pm-8:00pm
60 Rice Street, Cambridge
Suggested Donation: $20
Avi Chomsky recently led a Witness for Peace delegation to coal-mining regions of Colombia. The delegation focused on the people behind the coal – the injured workers and displaced communities that have been sacrificed to bring coal to power plants in Massachusetts and elsewhere. Professor Chomsky will report on how those who have been harmed are fighting for their rights and ways that we can help.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to support communities that have been displaced by the coal mines.
To help us plan properly, please make a reservation by Thursday, July 17. Call 978-441-9488.
Colombia Vive is an all-volunteer human rights organization that supports efforts for peace, human rights, and social justice in Colombia. We defend and support civilian groups in Colombia that share our perspective.
We condemn all forms of political violence and therefore do not support any of the armed actors in the Colombian conflict.
