Contact: Marco Rambaldo: 323-3507800 or: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Strada's presentation will illustrate EMERGENCY's work world wide, including a proposed regional cardiac center to be constructed in Sudan. Zinn will discuss his most recent book, Just War, for which Strada wrote the introduction; copies will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Audience Q & A will follow the colloquy. A donation of $10 is requested, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All proceeds from donations and book sales will support the work of the international medical aid organization EMERGENCY: Life Support for Civilian War Victims. Gino Strada has provided surgical treatment to thousands of wounded war victims, including victims of land mines, throughout the world. Seeing first-hand that civilians constitute the overwhelming majority of war casualties, in 1994 Strada founded EMERGENCY: Life Support for Civilian War Victims. The mission of the Italian-based international aid organization is to provide high-quality medical, surgical and rehabilitative care free of charge in war-torn areas and to promote a culture of peace, solidarity and respect for human rights. Howard Zinn, from a working-class family in Brooklyn, served as an airman in WW II. His insight into militarism led to life-long radical pacifism. A historian and political scientist, he has been active since the 1950s in anti-war and civil rights work, and he was a major opponent of the Viet Nam war. Among his many publications is the acclaimed People's History of the United States; his most recent book is Just War. Following their appearances in 2005 in Rome and Boston, this will be the first presentation of Strada and Zinn's symposium on the west coast. The program is organized by L.A. Friends of EMERGENCY, the southern California chapter of EMERGENCY USA : Life Support for Civilian War Victims and Physicians for Social Responsibility - Los Angeles For more information go to: <http://www.emergencyusa.org> www.emergencyusa.org Sincerely, Marco Rambaldo LA Coordinator EMR USA 323-3507800 <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
