Women’s Info Center: 601 Allen Street, Syracuse, NY
This week we will be reading and discussing a selection of writings about pacifism and the state.
Come and explore Ward Churchill’s and Peter Gelderloos’ arguments that nonviolence protects the state and offer your thoughts on the long going debate between “violence” vs. “nonviolence”. We are also reading the zine, Neither Their War Nor Their Peace.
The articles can be found at: http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B58R2fBgBRQzYjkxZmM5MGItNjc1Yi00YzFkLThjZjYtNWVkMWFhNWFmNzIy&hl=en
