Libertarian Book Club's May 2003 Anarchist Forum

The Bush-Ashcroft War on Civil Liberties

On Tuesday May 13, at 7:30pm, the Libertarian Book Club's Anarchist Forum will present a forum on The Bush-Ashcroft War on Civil Liberties.  The speaker will be Frederick H.Cohn, a noted civil liberties and criminal defense lawyer. For many years, Fred Cohn has engaged in the defense of political defendents, of persons unjustly accused, and of harassed minorities. He represented the antiwar protesters of the Vietnam War era. Now he defends Muslims who are being persecuted. He is both indignant at and apprehensive of how the Bush-Ashcroft administration is limiting civil rights. He will discuss this and show that, if it continues, many of our traditional rights will soon only be memories. After his presentation Fred Cohn will answer questions and respond to whatever comments the audience wishes to make.

Connecticut Anarchism Conference
May 17th, 2003


University of Hartford


Check www.gpjo.org/ctanarchism.htm for More Info as it Becomes Available


The Agenda for the Conference has Yet to be Made. Please Email Us for Submissions. Ideas so far:


- Creative Resistance 


The general purpose is to bring anti-authoritarians from across the state together so we may coordinate our efforts and bring a strong presence into the local peace and justice movement. Out-of-staters are welcomed so we may perhaps get an idea for what already-established anarchist communities are doing.


For some dumb reason, the University of Hartford website seems to be down, so for directions go to www.mapquest.com and get directions to 200 Bloomfield Ave, West Hartford, CT. 


To get in touch with local CT anarchists, send a blank email to ctanarchism-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

What is the LEIU?

The LEIU is a loosely-associated group of law enforcement and intelligence officers, whose private network of affiliations allows information to be shared between agencies. It was created in 1956 by the California Department of Justice. It first included 26 law enforcement agencies from seven western states but now includes more than 250 agencies from the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Mexico, and Britain. What is the purpose of the LEIU?
