SUMMARY:Saint Óscar Romero Commemoration Event
DESCRIPTION:      \nOscar Romero Commemoration Event\nSunday\, April 7\, from 3:30 to 6:00pm\nInga Bookstore (Pilsen neighborhood)\n1740 W. 18th St.\, Chicago\, IL 60608 \nJoin us on Sunday\, April 7th\, at 3:30pm as we come together to honor the life and legacy of Saint Oscar Romero. CRLN is delighted to partner with the Alma de Izote collective (Yuca Flower) for a special commemorative event dedicated to celebrating Saint Oscar Romero’s profound impact. His enduring influence holds special significance for CRLN\, evident in his portrayal within our logo. Romero’s dedication to justice serves as a guiding light for our own efforts. \nThis year is the 44th anniversary of his martyrdom. We would not be CRLN if we didn’t remind you that he was killed during the war in El Salvador in 1980s which was backed and funded the infamous death squads. To his legacy we say ¡San Romero Vive! ¡Presente! \nAlma de Izote is a newly formed solidarity group comprising individuals from the El Salvador community and allies\, united in their commitment to fostering social\, cultural\, and political education and dialogue within the Chicago community. \nThe event will feature a screening of the documentary “Monseñor: The Last Journey of Oscar Romero\,” followed by an insightful discussion and commentary led by esteemed Human Rights Defender from El Salvador\, Neris Gonzales\, Reverend Dan Dale\, and other speakers. Additionally\, we will have the opportunity to enjoy food from El Salvador while enjoying live music. \nWe warmly invite you to join us for this meaningful occasion as we pay tribute to Saint Oscar Romero and his enduring legacy of justice and liberation. We look forward to sharing this experience with you. \n“When all avenues of dialogue\, understanding and rationality are closed\, the Church speaks of the legitimate right to insurrectionary violence.” \n“And if they kill me\, I will be resurrected in the Salvadoran people.” \n– Óscar Arnulfo Romero

SUMMARY:Dana Frank\, “The Labor Struggles Behind the Caravans: Labor Activism\, State Repression\, and Poverty Creation in Honduras since the 2009 Coup”
DESCRIPTION:Place: Edgewater Presbyterian Church\, 1020 W. Bryn Mawr Ave.\, Chicago 60660 \nTime: 7 – 8:30pm \nPublic transportation: 2 blocks east of CTA Red Line Bryn Mawr stop \nParking: St. Andrew Greek Orthodox Church\, 5649 N Sheridan Rd\, Chicago\, IL 60660. **You must write a note\, “At Presbyterian Church\,” and place it on your dashboard\, or your car will be towed! \nDana Frank will discuss the role of the labor movement and labor politics in Honduras in the long aftermath of the 2009 military coup that deposed President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras. Honduran labor activists have been the backbone of the popular resistance that has been fighting the repressive coup regime ever since\, especially agricultural workers\, government employees\, bottling-plant workers\, and health care workers.   They are struggling to retain basic labor rights that are rarely enforced\, while joining the broad coalitions protesting the US-back post-coup regime and claiming labor rights guaranteed under the Central American Free Trade Agreement. This talk will explore labor activism in Honduras–while also analyzing the Honduran government’s destruction of the economy and livelihoods since the coup—that are helping produce the exodus of Honduran refugees at the US border. \nDana Frank is Professor of History Emerita at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where she taught US labor history and other topics for 30 years. She most recently published The Long Honduran Night: Resistance\, Terror and the United States in the Aftermath of the Coup. Her previous books include Bananeras: Women Transforming the Banana Unions of Latin America\, which focuses on Honduras; Buy American: The Untold Story of Economic Nationalism; and\, with Howard Zinn and Robin D.G. Kelly\, Strikes:  Miners\, Musicians\, Salesgirls and the Fighting Spirit of Labor’s Last Century. Her writings on human rights and U.S. policy in post-coup Honduras have appeared in the New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, Miami Herald\, Houston Chronicle\, The Nation\, Foreign Affairs\, Foreign Policy\, Politico Magazine\,  and many other publications\, and she has been interviewed by the Washington Post\, New Yorker\, New York Times\, National Public Radio\, Univision\, Latino USA\, regularly on Democracy Now!\, and on other outlets.  Professor Frank has testified about Honduras before the US House of Representatives\, the California Assembly\, and the Canadian Parliament. She has worked closely with banana workers’ unions in Honduras for almost twenty years. \nCo-sponsored by CRLN and La Voz de los de Abajo
