Please pass on the word with your friends, networks and media contacts in
Europe. If you are in Europe and able to get to Brussels for the 16th,
before the ESF, please join us. Contact us or the people at the GUE in

El 16 de septiembre, la PPEHRC hablara en una conferencia sobre la pobreza y
violaciones de los DDHH en los EEUU en el Parlamento Europeo, con los
companeros del GUE/NGL, el 16 de septiembre antes del FS Europeo. Favor de
correr la voz con sus contactos en Europa/Bruselas, y/o venir si pueden.

  "The US socio-economic "model": the right direction for the EU?

*16 September 2008*

*European Parliament, room ASP 1G03, 9.00-12.30*


The objective of the conference is to analyse the social and economic
situation in the US (civil liberties, health care, political participation,
housing and poverty) and to try to understand what the impact could be of
waves of privatizations and neo-liberalism in the EU in the light of
experience in the US.

The conference has the support and active participation of "Poor People's
Economic Human Rights Campaign" (PPEHRC), a North American
organizationengaged in the civil
rights struggle.

More information to follow shortly.
