Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed Sunday morning while serving as an usher at his church in Witchita , Kansas . Since the 1970s, Dr. Tiller has provided critical abortion and reproductive health care at great personal risk. In doing so, he has saved the lives and futures of countless women and girls across the country. His murder is a tragedy for his family, friends, and colleagues. It is also a tragedy for the women who need his care and for the entire community of health care providers and advocates, and for all of us who believe in a woman's right to dignity and self-determination. Please join us in honoring this great man who truly lived by his motto to "Trust Women."
Join the Boston community in sharing our grief and celebrating the life of Dr. George Tiller, a true hero for women across the country.

Supporters of the Radical Organizing Conference (ROC) process are pleased to announce our third annual Summer Institute. At each ROC, participants have talked about how we can do our work in a way that brings about radical change (gets to the root causes of problems). In that spirit, the ROC Summer Institute will offer several events for grassroots activists (see the front of this flyer) and a selection of short courses (see below) that allow participants to think even more deeply about the “big picture” and learn new skills as they continue their practical work for justice. Please join us for one (or more!) of these exciting workshops.
** All workshops are handicap accessible unless otherwise noted. **
Write to us at radicalorganizingconference@gmail.comor call 617-524-3541 (ext. 313) and tell us which classes you want to take. Registration not required but we would like to hear from you if possible.

The war is now entering what is traditionally the season of most intense fighting.US casualty figures are running about twice what they were a year ago, with an average of 2-3 US troops and 1-2 other NATO troops being killed each day. As the US congressional elections approach – and as Afghanistan prepares for a significant meeting of international donors and supporters on July 20 – the war managers have little to show for all their efforts so far.
