The attack on civil liberties during the past eight years extend beyond 
the crimes of one “rogue” president. The struggle for human rights began 
before the writing of the Constitution and has continued throughout US 
history.

After World War II, the US enormously expanded its role in suppressing 
human rights across the globe as it backed one dictator after another.

What will a new president mean for equality and justice in the US and 
beyond its borders? Will there be meaningful change or will we see a 
government which talks the talk of human rights without walking the 
walk? What do activists need to do to overturn the PATRIOT Act and 
ensure a path toward justice?

If you can bring a salad or vegetable dish to donate to the dinner, call

This is a vegetarian fundraising dinner for the Gateway Green Alliance.
