From: "Dick Flacks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2006 10:56:10 -0800 Subject: [SBProgCoalition] Fw: [socforum] Invitation -- Meet Robert Meeropol, son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg
a special opportunity for learning and inspiration! Meet ROBERT MEEROPOL Son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg Executive Director of the Rosenberg Fund for Children Robert Meeropol was six years old when his parents, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, were sent to the electric chair in 1953, executed by the U.S. government after one of the most hotly debated trials in U.S. history. Now, Meeropol leads the Rosenberg Fund for Children (RFC), a public foundation he started in 1990. The RFC echoes the support Meeropol received from the progressive community after his parents' deaths, by aiding children of today's activists who are living through similar nightmares to that which he experienced as a child. Meeropol - now an attorney, activist, author and Executive Director of the RFC- will discuss the work of the foundation and its particular urgency in these troubling times. The Fund's work assisting the children of activists who have been harmed because of their involvement in progressive struggles, will be the backdrop for a brief talk about the dangers of the current political climate and its parallels to the McCarthy era of the 1950s. There will be socializing too, and a chance to chat with Robert informally as well. Sat, Nov. 18th, 4:00-600 PM 1930 Anacapa St., Santa Barbara (corner of Anacapa & Mission) Hosted by Howard Winant & Debbie Rogow, Dick & Mickey Flacks and Beth Schneider... Refreshments will be served. RSVP by Nov.15 to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or to Amber Black at the Rosenberg Fund for Children at (413) 529-0063. Tax-deductible contributions to the Rosenberg Fund for Children are encouraged. Help raise the funds needed to defend families of political prisoners and targeted activists!
