Libertarian Book Club's May 2003 Anarchist Forum

The Bush-Ashcroft War on Civil Liberties

On Tuesday May 13, at 7:30pm, the Libertarian Book Club's Anarchist Forum will present a forum on The Bush-Ashcroft War on Civil Liberties.  The speaker will be Frederick H.Cohn, a noted civil liberties and criminal defense lawyer. For many years, Fred Cohn has engaged in the defense of political defendents, of persons unjustly accused, and of harassed minorities. He represented the antiwar protesters of the Vietnam War era. Now he defends Muslims who are being persecuted. He is both indignant at and apprehensive of how the Bush-Ashcroft administration is limiting civil rights. He will discuss this and show that, if it continues, many of our traditional rights will soon only be memories. After his presentation Fred Cohn will answer questions and respond to whatever comments the audience wishes to make.

    The event will take place at the Brecht Forum on the 10th floor of 122 West 27th St. [between 6th and 7th Ave.], a short walk from the 28th St. 1, 2, N, and R stops, the 34th St. B, D, and Q stop, and the 23rd St. F and V stop

    There is no set fee for the presentation, but a contribution to aid the LBC is requested.  If you have questions, contact the LBC /Anarchist Forum, 212-979-8353, 339 Lafayette St., Room 202, NYC, NY 10012 or e-mail: roberterler@erols.com
