Widening War Tour September 18, 2007 7 PM AFSC and the Widening War Tour present Annalisa Enrile of the Philippines and Diana Lopez of Texas, who will discuss the vibrant grassroots movements around the world opposed to US military bases. Annalisa Enrile is the National Chairperson of GABRIELA Network. She has been with the organization since 1994. A graduate of UCLA, Annalisa has crossed the city and is now a professor at the USC School of Social Work where she teaches human behavior, community practice, and feminist theory and social action. Annalisa has had extensive experience in the area of trafficking, militarization, and global violence against women. She spent a year in the Philippines on a Fulbright Fellowship examining domestic violence and grassroots responses where she trained with GABRIELA Philippines. She continues to work with GABRIELA Philippines and fights injustice on both sides of the Pacific. Diana Lopez is Environmental Justice Coordinator for the Southwest Workers Union in San Antonio, Texas. She will speak about her personal experiences in relation to her decision not to join the US Air Force. She will also speak about her work dealing with toxins that are put into the environment surrounding her community and others, specifically from US military bases. The United States maintains more than 700 publicly recognized military bases as well as hundreds of secret bases and installations in forty countries around the world. With more than 400,000 US troops "forward deployed" at these bases, they make U.S. foreign military interventions, wars like the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and even nuclear war possible. Yet, around the world, these foreign U.S. military bases have given rise to vibrant grassroots movements that oppose them, and it is up to us in the United States to support their demands to close the bases and bring troops home. The Widening War Tour seeks to build the connections between the peace and justice movements and to create a stronger network of activists striving to end war and the roots of war. Location: American Friends Service Committee 634 S. Spring St., First Floor Conference Room Los Angeles, CA 90014 Map / directions: http://www.afsc.org/pacificsw/directions.htm Event is free.
