Remembering Rachel Corrie - A 7-Year Anniversary Memorial Event

Remembering Rachel Corrie ~  A 7-Year Anniversary Memorial Event with Joe Carr, Musician/Activist

When: Tuesday, March 16th, 2010, 7pm-8pm

Where: Resistencia Bookstore
           1801 South 1st Street
           Austin, Texas

Why:  Austin activist and musician Joe Carr was with Rachel Corrie, 23, when she was crushed to death by an Israeli Military bulldozer as they stood nonviolently preventing the demolition of Palestinian civilian homes in Gaza on March 16th, 2003.

This Tuesday marks the 7-year anniversary of her murder, and coincides with an ongoing civil trial in Israel for the Corrie family's wrongful death civil lawsuit against the Israeli Military.

Joe Carr will share stories, pictures, poetry and music about his experiences working with the International Solidarity Movement in occupied Palestine, Rachel Corrie's life and death, updates from the trial, and information about the local Palestinian-rights movement. His presentation will be followed by an open-mic speak out session.
