Join us for a special Video Premiere Event featuring Christian Urrutia at the Manchester Public Library. The video will highlight Christian’s work taking on war criminals and this perilous moment for our democracy. Q&A, empanadas and conversation to follow.
Christian Urrutia is an Army National Guard officer and public defender for our soldiers, an experienced human rights and international law attorney, who has taken on courtroom battles and won, a senior national security leader, and advocate for responsible technology policies that address anti-discrimination, human rights, and privacy. He lives in Moultonborough with his wife Jenn, a small business owner, and their dog Winston.
He’s running for Congress because too often our government talks about fairness — but falls short when it comes to courageously fighting for working people. That needs to change.
Christian is the son of immigrants and the first in his family born in the United States. He grew up in Hudson, where he pushed carts at Market Basket and graduated from Alvirne High School in 2002. His mother worked at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester as an ICU nurse for over 20 years and his father is a devoted community leader.
The Guardian called this case “one of the biggest and most significant legal human rights victories against a foreign war criminal in a U.S. courtroom.”
The Nation called it a “historic milestone.”
