"Closing the School of the Americas" with Maria Termini on May 8th at 11 a.m.

Join Community Church of Boston on Sunday May 8th at 11 a.m. for a talk given by artist/activist Maria Termini who traveled to Chile with a human rights delegation from the School of the Americas Watch to convince the government to stop sending its soldiers to the "School of the Americas" at the Fort Benning army base in Columbus, Georgia. Maria will explain what is the “School of the Americas,” who are its graduates and how they have been involved in massacres, killings, and torture. Closing the “School of the Americas” can stop the killings and violence. This is an urgent matter of faith and conscience for all who seek peace and justice.

Maria Termini is an artist, writer, musician and activist. Her art is in the collections of the Fogg Museum, the Boston Public Library, and over 80 non-profit organizations. She is the author of four published books as well as many poem and narrative essays. She has traveled extensively in Latin America and worked with Habitat for Humanity, Ecclesia Ministries in Boston, and Mass Care: the Massachusetts Campaign for Single Payer Health Care. She also served in the US Peace Corps in Bolivia. More information can be found on her website: www.mariatermini.com.
