Description: Sister Grace Miller of House of Mercy will give a presentation on the criminalization of homelessness and poverty. She will present on her lived experience and the barriers to survival that people she works with face everyday.

Anti-war activist and professor Harry Murray will go into depth about the use of orders of protection against anti-war and anti-drone protesters demonstrating in front of air bases utilizing their Constitutional rights. In a bizarre twist, courts have allowed base commanders who don't want demonstrators in front of their bases to use orders of protection that came out of the anti-domestic violence movement to be used against demonstrators who have never interacted with let alone met these base commanders.
