On January 14, 2011 the people of Tunisia rose up and overthrew the US and European backed corrupt and despotic government of Tunisia in a mass movement that had been building for several weeks. Since then, the powerful mass movement has grown bigger and Tunisia has seen more demonstrations as the revolutionary movement continues to mobilize on the streets. Join Mobilization Against War & Occupation (MAWO) to discuss:

>> What are the roots and causes of this mass struggle in Tunisia?
>> What has been the role of the US, France and other imperialists in causing this crisis?
>> What will the effects of this mass movement in Tunisia be for North Africa and the Middle East?
>> What can we learn from this powerful mass movement in Tunisia?
>> How should we respond and support to the ongoing popular movement in Tunisia?

Screening 45 minutes of documentary and news clips followed by speakers and discussion

Speakers:
>> Azza Willow
A Tunisian peace and social justice activist will reflect on her perspective on the ongoing mass movement in Tunisia

>> Ali Yerevani
Editor of the Fire This Time Newspaper and a participant in the 1979 Iranian Revolution
