(1) Join us for a report back from May 1 (lots of discussion)

May 1st was a huge success. In coordinated action, millions of people took to the streets to demand equality and to fight back against anti-immigrant racism. All over the U.S., in hundreds of cities, immigrants and their supporters said, "No business as usual!"

Join us at this week's ANSWER meeting. Hear a report back from protests around the country; Share your May 1 experience with others; and join us to talk about how we can organize to build a movement for amnesty and full equality for all immigrants.


(2) The Tel Rumeida Project: Documenting Settler and Israeli State Violence in Palestine

Tel Rumeida Project members Chelli Stanley and John Harmer will speak about the current situation in Tel Rumeida and present documentary footage of settler attacks filmed in the neighborhood.

The Tel Rumeida Project www.telrumeidaproject.org was formed in May 2005 as a response to increased settler violence in the neighborhood of Tel Rumeida, Hebron, in the West Bank. Tel Rumeida is a small Palestinian neighborhood widely-acknowledged as housing the most violent and extremist faction of the Israeli settler movement. Palestinian families who live directly next to these settlers are often virtual prisoners in their homes, subject to the settlers' violent attacks and destruction of property. In just five months, members of the Tel Rumeida Project recorded more than 120 settler attacks in the small neighborhood. 

From the moment internationals began living in Tel Rumeida, the Israeli army and Kiryat Arba police have tried to remove the international human rights presence from the neighborhood by using a variety of means, including constant intimidation, threats, violence, false charges, arrests, and deportation.

Join us on May 4 and Help ANSWER Chicago support this very important project.
