 Out, the Making of a Revolutionary:  Convicted of the 1983 US Capitol 
 Bombing, and 'conspiring to influence, change, and protest policies and 
 practices of the United States government through violent and illegal 
 means", Laura Whitehorn, an out lesbian and one of six defendants in the 
 Resistance Conspiracy Case, spent 14 years in prison. OUT is the story of 
 her life and times - five tumultuous decades of struggle for freedom and 
 justice. Planting a bomb in the US Capitol Building was the culmination of 
 a lifetime of radical protest for Whitehorn, and 14 years in federal 
 penitentiary have only solidified her stance as a committed American 
 revolutionary.   Save these Dates!   Check out our revolutionary future 
 features on the fourth Tuesdays at El Rio at 7pm:  March 22nd El Salvador  
 April 26th Haiti    From Attica to Abu Ghraib:  An Organizing Conference on 
 Human Rights, Torture, and  Resistance  sponsored by the International 
 Human Rights Initiative  Friday, April 22, 6 - 9 p.m.: Opening Event 
 featuring  keynote speaker Cynthia McKinney.  St. Joseph the Worker Church 
 1640 Addison St.,  Berkeley, California  Saturday, April 23, 8:30 a.m. - 9 
 p.m: Working  Conference.  U.C. Berkeley, Dwinelle Hall    Torture, illegal 
 detention and other human rights  abuses have always been weapons used by 
 the United  States government to crush dissent and social justice  
 movements. Today, the criminalization of people of  color in the US, mass 
 illegal detentions and  deportations of Arabs, Muslims and immigrants, 
 torture  in Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and in US prisons are  evidence of a 
 terrifying escalation in US repression  both at home and abroad.   What can 
 we do? Our strength lies in building on the  experiences of those who 
 resist: here in the US, in  Latin America, Palestine, the Philippines, the  
 Caribbean, and in countless communities throughout the  world. The 
 International Human Rights Initiative was  conceived by a strong diverse 
 coalition, including US  political prisoners, to help unite the emerging 
 global  resistance movement.   \n
