  campaigns and demand justice on a variety of issues. Most of their gr
 antees reach across issues to connect communities and struggles. Their
  work spans anti-militarism, prisoners' rights, community organizing, 
 GLBTQ justice, environmental justice, antiracism, disability rights, y
 outh organizing, Native Peoples' rights and more. Since 1967, RESIST h

  7PM. The venue is physically accessible - elevator is at the back of 
 the venue and bathrooms are big enough for manual, but not motor-power
 ed, wheelchairs.\nPARKING: Lir is across from the Hynes Convention Cen
 ter. Parking near Lir is really hard - you could get lucky or you coul
 d drive around for 30 or more minutes. There are parking garages by Ba
 ck Bay station. Best bet is to take the T to Back Bay or Hynes Convent
 ion Center (which is the closest T stop).\nHELP SPREAD THE WORD!\nInvi
