SUMMARY:Pedal for Peace 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Condensed / Smaller\nPedal for Peace 2023 Celebration\n\n(You can download our flyers below) \nAs we approach the end of summer\, CRLN enters a period of transition. Change can be both positive and necessary\, but what remains unchanged is CRLN’s unwavering commitment to the liberation of the people of Latin America. Our work persists\, it is part of our collective resistance and is driven by solidarity and our actions. \nThis year\, the Pedal for Peace project will take on a more condensed format compared to previous years. Rest assured\, we’ll still be bikes\, as well as walking and running in our barrios. While it may not be as elaborate as before\, our partner organizations – Centro Romero\, Chicago-Cinquera Sister Cities\, Chicago-Guatemala Partnership\, and Concern America – are looking forward to a celebration of friendship and solidarity. And yes\, we will continue to raise funds for our ongoing projects. \nWe kindly invite you to make a donation by clicking here. \nJoin us on Sunday\, September 17\, at 11 am on the north side of Chicago\, at Emmerson (Louis) Park (1820 W Granville Ave.). The event will be two hours of biking\, running\, walking\, and communal celebration. We have a brief program planned\, which will start at 11am and wrap up around 1 pm. Following this\, we will migrate a few blocks to Centro Romero (6216 N Clark St.) for refreshments\, poetry readings\, and to continue celebrating our friendship and solidarity. \nIf you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at jgomez@crln.org. \ns\ns\nEn solidaridad y resistencia permanente\, \nJhonathan F. Gómez \n   \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch: I Surrender by Kathleen  Osberger 
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Special Event with\nAuthor Kathy Osberger\nKathleen Osberger has been a steadfast supporter and friend of CRLN for many years. Kathy is not only a dedicated human rights defender and activist but also a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who has provided crucial support to the human rights community in Chicago\, particularly by offering care and counseling to trauma and torture survivors. \nWe invite you to join us on Thursday\, September 21\, at 7 pm at St. Gertrude Catholic Church in Chicago as we celebrate the launch of Kathy’s new memoir\, “I Surrender.” \nKathy’s memoir is a powerful testimony to her experiences in Chile. In September of 1973\, a coup d’état\, with the backing of the United States\, toppled the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. Kathy arrived in Chile in 1975\, during the early years of the dictatorship. Upon her arrival\, she was entrusted with a secret: the religious women she would be living with were providing refuge to dissidents targeted by Pinochet’s secret police. “I Surrender” vividly portrays the solidarity of the Chilean people and the transformative role played by nuns and priests dedicated to serving the poor\, while highlighting the changing and challenged Catholic Church. \nBooks will be sold at the event. And if you cannot make it on September 21\, we recommend you watch an interview where Kathy shares some of her ideas and feelings behind her book. Click here or below to see the interview. \n \nIf you have any questions\, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at jgomez@crln.org. \ns \nEn solidaridad y resistencia permanente\, \nJhonathan F. Gómez \n     \n
