Group 4 meetings

Our meetings are usually held on the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 PM in the den at Mosaic Coffee House, 4401 2nd Ave. NE, Seattle.

The Mosaic Coffee House is a nonprofit coffee house located in Seattle First Church (behind Dick's Drive In in the Wallingford Neighborhood). Check here for directions, free parking and bus line information.

The next Group 4 meeting is Tuesday, February 2, at the above time and location.

Our meetings are open to the public, and all are welcome.

Upcoming Events

Join us on Wednesday, February 17, 6:30 pm a screening and discussion of The Response at the University of Washington, Johnson Hall Room 102.

The Response is an award-winning courtroom drama exploring the trial of a suspected enemy combatant, based on actual transcripts of the Guantanamo Bay military tribunals. This powerful film has not yet been released to the general public.

Following the 30-minute film screening, a panel of speakers will discuss the issues. Confirmed speakers include Arsalan Bukhari, the Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Washington, and Joseph McMillan, from the Perkins Coie legal defense team for Salim Ahmed Hamdan, Osama bin Laden's personal driver.

The event is sponsored by Amnesty International, in collaboration with CAIR-WA, Veterans for Peace Seattle and Tacoma chapters, and the Washington State Religious Campaign Against Torture.

Refreshments will be provided.

House Party Screenings at Shoreline Community College

Starting in January, for the first five months of 2010, we'll have a house party screening of human rights movies at Shoreline Community College on the third Thursday of each month.

Our next film, still to be determined, will be on Thursday, February 18, 2010.

Look for Amnesty International's table, run by volunteers from Group 4 and other northwest Amnesty groups, at upcoming concerts including Richard Thompson.

Stop by, sign our petitions and say hi!

Save JoJo!

Help us save our friend, JoJo Tran, who is seeking asylum and in danger of being sent back to Vietnam.
