Torture is Wrong
Start: 8:00 pm
End: 10:00 pm

The Nuremburg trials represented what Justice Brandeis called "The sanitizing
effect of sunlight" and the triumph of justice over vengeance. Sixty-three
years later, we conduct trials behind closed doors at Guantanamo, where the
chief military prosecutor has resigned in protest and we have deeply compromised
the rule of law. What has changed? The world is watching. Bonnie
Tamres-Moore is a human rights activist working on the issue of US-supported torture.
She is a founding member of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture.

Author Event: Amanda Marcotte and It’s a Jungle Out There: The Feminist Survival Guide to Politically Inhospitable Environments

Drawing on her personal experiences of dealing with anti-feminists—from her years of blogging about feminism and living in the woman-unfriendly state of Texas—Marcotte brings her wit and distinct lack of patience to the topic of surviving while feminist. She doles out priceless advice along the way on how not only survive but also thrive, and even how to carve out a space for your feminist self in these oft-times hostile environments.
