The Red Scare of the 50s is turning into the Green Scare of today.
Don’t let Bush, Inc. snatch away your rights, make you point a finger, lock you up, or label you a terrorist. The Northwest has been at the center of both incredible progressive activism and government repression, especially over the last decade.
Come listen to how history is repeating itself and what we can do to fight it!
Featuring:
Attorney Robert Meeropol
Executive Director of the Rosenberg Fund for Children and son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg who were wrongfully executed in 1953 for conspiring to steal the secret of the atomic bomb,
