JHR Minutes #16
Event: Last Thursday’s event with Emilio Tojin Lopez was a huge success. Over 80 people were in attendance, and organizers raised over $300 for his organization (AJR) that night alone. Lopez called the evening one of the highlights of his trip.
Thanks to all those who helped organize the event – in particular, Phil Neff, Veryl Pow, et. al. at Amnesty International UW; Chris Benoit at UW Law’s Center for Human Rights & Justice; and Emily Arfin of UUCAN. JHR is very appreciative of your dedication. Thank you to JHR members for volunteering to help facilitate the talk and promote the club’s awareness.
Anthony’s great article covering the event made it online, and is available here.
Mike McCormick of SCAN-TV and KEXP recorded the event; a DVD version (solo en Espanol) is available upon request.
