MEMORIAL AND CONVERGENCE IN HONOR OF BRAD WILL
SAT., NOV. 11, 1 P.M.-5 P.M., AT ST. MARK'S CHURCH ON THE BOWERY, MANHATTAN
NEW YORK – A weekend of gatherings, memorials, concerts and
conversations will take place over the weekend of Nov. 11 and 12 in New
York City, to remember our dear friend and fallen comrade Brad Will. A
memorial will be held at St. Mark's Church on the Bowery from
1:00pm-5:00pm on Saturday, Nov. 11. Other events are also being planned.
St. Mark's Church is at 131 East 10th Street in Manhattan. It is located
near the No. 6 train subway stop at Astor Place and the R stop at 8th
Street-New York University.
Brad was one of more than a dozen civilians murdered by paramiliaries in
the pay of the ruling party in Oaxaca, Mexico, in recent months. He died
documenting the abuses of Gov. Ulises Ruiz and his thugs against
Oaxaquenos attempting to create direct democracy in their state.
Paramilitaries and government troops continue to violently attack the
grassroots movement there.
All friends of Brad and activists concerned about and dedicated to the
work that he built his life around are welcome at the Sat. memorial. If
you need housing, please write to bradmemorialhousing@gmail.com. If you
would like to participate in planning for the memorial and other events,
please sign up to the discussion list by going to
www.friendsofbradwill.org. Return to this site for more details during
the course of the week.
