Meeting 6/13: WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY with the TURKISH REBELLION.

[Joe Cleffie]

WE STAND IN SOLIDARITY with the TURKISH REBELLION.

We will be holding a public meeting to analyze and discuss the events of the last 2 weeks in Turkey. We will also be contemplating actions we can do here in Philly to show solidarity with the Turkish people. Please join us!
_______________________

Over the last two weeks, small protests to stop the demolition of a park in Istanbul snowballed into a challenge to the government and its machinery of repression.

- How can a little protest about a few trees escalate into mass confrontation with the police?
- Why are people who voted for an "Islamist" government now battling against that same government?
- Why are groups who were at odds now fighting side by side? (Turks, Armenians, Kurds; Rival soccer team supporters, nationalists, and LGBT youth)
- Why are all the tear gas canisters Made in the USA? What is a U.S. navy base doing in Izmir?
- What do these events mean for the Egyptian government?
- What process are we observing?

Join us for an analysis and discussion.
