7-Year anniversary memorial event with Joe Carr. Austin activist and musician Joe Carr was with Rachel Corrie when she was crushed to death by an Israeli Military bulldozer as they stood nonviolently preventing the demolition of Palestinian civilian homes in Gaza on March 16th, 2003. This Tuesday marks the 7-year anniversary of her murder, and coincides with an ongoing civil trial in Israel for the Corrie family’s wrongful death lawsuit against the Israeli Military.

Joe Carr will share stories, pictures, poetry and music about his experiences working with the International Solidarity Movement in occupied Palestine, Rachel Corrie’s life and death, updates from the trial, and information about the local Palestinian-rights movement. His presentation will be followed by an open-mic speak out session.

Please bring items for a memorial alter, like something that reminds you of her, Palestine, nature, or anything you think she would have liked or has spiritual meaning for you.
