News
Dear Friends,
We are excited to share with you the latest news.
First of all, we just released a special double issue celebrating the life and work of Chicana activist Elizabeth "Betita" Martínez. We are planning a big launch event in San Francisco on December 15.
Also, we received a series of dispatches from Laurie Coyle and Olga Talamante describing their trip to Argentina for the screening of a documentary on political prisoners and torture.
Finally, our blog features new pieces on the NSA scandal and the meaning of increasing crime rates in the US (see "Current Debates" on the sidebar).
Please find more information below.
Thank you,
SJ
