DESCRIPTION:Join the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador and the 
 Prisoners of Conscience Committee in screening segments of the 
 controversial films "Hijos de la Guerra" and "Bastards of the Party" to 
 explore connections between police violence and assassinations throughout 
 the US, Mexico, and Central America historically and now, since the opening 
 of the U.S. Police Training Academy in El Salvador in 2005.\n\nfollowed by 
 a bi-lingual panel discussion with:\n\nRevolutionary journalist JR Minister 
 of Information, P.O.C.C. Chairman Fred Hampton Jr., Latina Indigenous 
 community organizer Valerie Tulier, and members of CISPES.\n\nWednesday, 
 June 11, 2008\n7-11pm @ Station 40\n3030B 16th St. (@ Mission St.)\nSan 
 Francisco, CA\n\n$10-20 suggested donation to cover costs of P.O.C.C. 
 delegation to El Salvador later this month\n\nThe U.S. State Department's 
 use of "anti-terrorism" rhetoric and racist "anti-drug", "anti-immigrant", 
 "anti-gang" sentiment to pass severely repressive laws  has touched off 
 another surge of assassinations and forced detentions in Black and Brown 
 communities throughout the US and poor, leftist communities in El 
 Salvador.\n\nPeople throughout the Americas are mounting a resistance.  
 Last year In El Salvador, 28 vendors and protestors were charged with "Acts 
 of Terrorism" when resisting police raids and water privatization.  After 
 months of international outrage and protest, hunger strikes and massive 
 marches in El Salvador, the charges were dropped but political repression 
 and assassinations persist.\n\nActivists at the frontlines fighting police 
 brutality, corporate land theft, and prison plantations or "concentration 
 camps" in the U.S. and its client states are fueling a new struggle that 
 communicates, agitates, and facilitates education and organization across 
 borders with solidarity messages of "Resistencia!" and "Free 'Em All!" 
 towards our collective liberation from capitalist violence and occupation, 
 from racism and political isolation.\n\n\nP.O.C.C.s Statements on the
