Our Liberty is Bound Together: InterPlay & Set Them Free Saturday, April 21st Saturday, April 21st. 9:30 a.m.-noon location TBD All women and teenage girls are invited to a 3-hour InterPlay workshop to collaborate with "Set Them Free: No Moms and Babies Behind Bars in Turkey" an initiative to increase worldwide awareness of the 10, 000 women and 650 children (from newborn to age six) held in Turkish prisons as political prisoners after the failed coup attempt in Turkey. After the InterPlay session, we will share food and learn about "Set Them Free" and the Gulen (Hizmet) Movement from women who used to call Turkey home. We hope to create friendships and together find ways to bring attention to the human rights violations against Turkish women and children in their own country.  Everyone is welcome to come to solely play and learn. Your presence is welcome. And to those of you who are feeling compelled to make a difference with human rights issues, we hope this InterPlay workshop will be the beginning of a sustained effort to heighten the awareness of the world to the plight of these Turkish women and their children. Certified InterPlay Leaders Ruth Schowalter and Christine Gautreaux will be facilitating. Attendance is free. Questions?
