<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">On
May 21, World Can't Wait Chicago held torture workshops at the "We Are
Everywhere" Youth Summit at the Multicultural Arts School in <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1243486163_5">Little Village</span> a high school that was built after fierce struggle in the community, including a group of Latina mothers waging a nineteen-day <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1243486163_6">hunger strike</span> demanding a new school for their children. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">We
started off the workshops by asking, American lives more valuable than
the lives of people around the world? Resoundingly the students
responded no, though many thought that the reality was that people
around the world were treated as if they were worth less.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">This led directly into the topic of torture. Showing the video produced for the May 28th <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1243486163_7">National Day</span> of Protest Against U.S. Torture, the students were shocked to see the images from <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1243486163_8">Abu Ghraib</span>, which many of them had not seen before and did not know about. </span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=0%2BHoJNOFQS2gIozEEUq%2BabuCkPo9%2FeiP"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">read more...</span></a></div>
