DESCRIPTION:THE SUPPRESSION OF DISSENT IN THE UNITED STATES\nWith JULES BOYKOFF, KATYA 
 KOMISARUK, and a representative of the SF8\n$5-10 donation to benefit the 
 SF8 Defense (no one turned away)\n\nEight former Black Panthers were 
 arrested earlier this year on charges related to the 1971 killing of a San 
 Francisco police officer. Similar charges had been thrown out in 1973, 
 after it was revealed that police used torture to extract confessions from 
 some of the same men. Unfortunately, such state repression of social 
 movements is far from unusual in the US. Please join us for an evening of 
 speakers about the history and current reality of government repression, as 
 well as counter-strategies activists can use to combat it.\n\nJules Boykoff 
 is a political science professor at Pacific University and author of the 
 new book BEYOND BULLETS: THE SUPPRESSION OF DISSENT IN THE UNITED STATES. 
 He will discuss the tactics used by US government agents to undermine the 
 long-term viability of movements for political, social, and economic 
 change.  \n\nKatya Komisaruk applied to Harvard law school while serving a 
 five-year prison sentence for civil disobedience, and has been a criminal 
 defense and civil rights lawyer for over a decade. She is also the author 
 of the indispensable BEAT THE HEAT: HOW TO HANDLE ENCOUNTERS WITH LAW 
 ENFORCEMENT. She will offer informed, practical suggestions of what 
 activists can do in the face of repression.\n\nA representative of the SF8 
 will also be on hand to give an update on their case and tell us how we can 
 get involved in supporting their defense.\n\nFIND OUT MORE ABOUT:\nThe SF8
