>> Free Public Forum “EGYPT AT THE CROSSROADS: WHICH WAY FORWARD?”

Two
 and a half years ago, the Egyptian people showed the power of their 
will and determination when they overthrew their brutal US-backed 
dictator Hosni Mubarak through an enormous mass movement. Since that 
time, the process of how to build an Egypt for Egyptians has been an 
ongoing struggle. On July 3rd, 2013 this course of change was violently 
interrupted with a coup that overthrew the democratically elected 
President Mohamed Morsi. The army and police have responded to the large
 anti-coup protests with a bloody crackdown that has killed more than 
1000 innocent people and injured many thousands more. However, protests 
continue with a new mass mobilization called for this Friday, August 
30th.

Join this forum to discuss:
>> Whose interests are being served by this military coup?
>> How are imperialist countries maneuvering in the wake of this new coup in Egypt?
>> What’s next for Egyptian people in their fight for dignity and social justice?
