DESCRIPTION:Please join us in celebrating 50 years of social activism and Richard 
 Becker's 70th birthday on Saturday, March 4!\n\nAs ANSWER Coalition’s 
 West Coast director, Richard Becker has been central to virtually every 
 mobilization against U.S. war, occupation and sanctions in the Bay Area for 
 more than 15 years. Richard’s social justice activism stretches back to 
 his youth in Rochester N.Y., to the fight against the Vietnam war, for the 
 Attica prisoners’ uprising, for the Palestinian struggle for 
 self-determination, and so much more.\n\nHis initial action was the first 
 huge anti-war march in New York City, April 15, 1967. In the early 1980s, 
 he organized against the Nazis and Klan in rural Oroville, CA. Richard has 
 traveled worldwide — often with Ramsey Clark — to countries targeted by 
 the U.S. government: Palestine, Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Cuba, 
 Yugoslavia, El Salvador, and other countries in Asia, Latin America and 
 Europe. The objective? To document the effects of U.S. aggression and help 
 galvanize solidarity with the peoples of the world.\n\nOf his book 
 “Palestine, Israel and the U.S. Empire,” Ramsey Clark says, Richard 
 “gives us the most focused and penetrating analysis we have of the real 
 dynamics in the continuing persecution of the Palestinian people. He calls 
 for international unity to end this tragic injustice.” Richard’s 70th 
 birthday celebration opens a new chapter for him in the 
 struggle.\n\nRefreshments - No host bar\n\n
