*Panel Discussion:  Economic Well-being? Democracy?
Human Rights Challenges and Solutions from El Salvador to Broome County*
* *
*Binghamton, NY* - Economic justice and civil rights will be the subject of
a panel discussion sponsored by the Binghamton - El Charcón Sister City
Project at its Annual Meeting on Monday, April 21, 7-9 pm at La Tazza Café,
39 S. Washington Street, Binghamton. The event is free and open to the
public.

Long before the latest economic crisis, most Americans were already aware
that, while their wages failed to keep pace with rising costs, they also had
decreasing access to quality health care, education and other essential
services, this while watching the "War on Terror" undercut basic civil
liberties without making people feel any safer.

What may be less well known is that the policies producing this situation
are having even greater negative impacts abroad. The names given these
policies obscure their aims. Around the world 'economic liberalization' and
post-911 counter-terrorism measures have undermined democracy while
increasing poverty and economic inequality.
