Surviving the Dirty War

Patricia Isasa

Larkskpur, California, Nov. 3, 2005

Argentina kidnap victim Patricia Isasa will discuss her abduction and torture and present her documentary film on Thursday, November 3, at the Redwoods Presbyterian Church, 110 Magnolia Avenue, Larkspur, at 7:30 PM.

At the time of her kidnapping in July of 1976, Patricia Indiana Isasa was a 16-year-old high-school student in Santa Fe, Argentina. She was taken by a commando group of the state police and “disappeared” for three months. She was then taken to a military barracks and held prisoner without trial or due process for two years and two months.

Her 50-minute film "El Cerco" documents the investigation she initiated in 1997, which led to the discovery of the identities of some individuals responsible for violent repression of civil rights during the seventies. Thanks to Ms. Isasa's relentless efforts, today eight people are in jail and awaiting trial, including an ex-federal judge, an ex-assistant secretary for security of Santa Fe, and several ex-policemen (one of them a graduate of the School of the Americas).

The program is sponsored by Marin Interfaith Task Force on the Americas. A $5-10 donation is requested. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. This venue is wheelchair accessible. Refreshments will be served. For more information, please call 415/924-3227 or email mitf@igc.org

New York City Anarchist Circle Meeting
Oct 18, 2005

The First NYC Anarchist Circle Meeting

When: October 18, 2005 @ 7 PM

Where: AJ Muste Building, 339 Lafayette Street
New York, NY 10012
(Take 6 to Bleecker, B,V,F,D to B'way-Lafayette, Q,R,W to Prince)

This will be an opportunity for various anarchists and anarchist collectives to come together and facilitate a discussion. Here, we will be able to obtain a greater understanding of what everyone in the anarchist community is actually doing; and, hopefully, strengthen the bonds within it, possibly creating new ones. The fall of Soviet Russia and the ever expanding realization of the horrors of capitalism has paved the way for anarchists to make their presence felt. A lively discourse about tactics, vision, and organization will only strengthen our ability to make our presence an influential one--more so than it already is. So, bring your ideas, maybe some examples of what you are doin, proposals, and, most importantly, bring yourself. Hope to see everyone there.
