Author Talk: Rebecca Gordon's "Mainstreaming Torture: Ethical Approaches in the Post-11 United States"

TORTURE IS A MORAL ISSUE

Dear Friends,

Teaching for Change Bookstore at Busboys and Poets Welcomes: Rebecca Gordon

When: Tuesday, October 28 from 6:30 – 8:00pm
Where: Busboys and Poets, 2021 14th St NW, Washington, DC (14th & V)

Join the Facebook event or distribute the flyer in your community.

Co-sponsors include: National Religious Campaign Against Torture, Amnesty International USA, Busboys and Poets, Center for Victims of Torture, Church of the Brethren Office of Public Witness, Disciples Justice Action Network, Franciscan Action Network, Islamic Society of North America, Justice and Witness Ministries, United Church of Christ, Maryknoll Global Concerns, Methodist Federation for Social Action, Teaching for Change, Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition, and Witness Against Torture.

In the 25 years I've known Rebecca Gordon, she has brought many critical issues to the forefront for public debate.  Her new book details the history and current practice of U.S.-sponsored torture, and argues that without urgent moral action, nothing less than the soul of the nation is at stake.  At her reading, she will break it down, as she always does, in ways that are useful to everyday activists working on torture in U.S. prisons, police accountability, racism, and CIA torture.

Sincerely,

Rev. Ron Stief
