Dear Al,

Massachusetts Peace & Justice Network: Kevin Martin; State Peace Bills

Sunday, October 27 @ 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm ~ Worcester Friends Meeting, 901 Pleasant St

Kevin Martin Special Guest
The Massachusetts Peace and Justice Network‘s fall meeting will be held Sunday, October 27, from 1:30 – 4:00 pm, at the Worcester Friends Meeting, 901 Pleasant St.   There are three agenda items.
1) Kevin Martin, national president of Peace Action, will speak on peace issues in the Presidential race, report on peace organizing in various parts of the country (he recently did a swing through Montana, Utah, and Idaho), and address issues such as the Pentagon budget, nukes, Yemen, Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Palestine-Israel.   
2) The network’s Commonwealth Peace and Justice Agenda is under discussion on Beacon Hill this fall, with 5 different hearings covering the 9 bills we have sponsored.  Five of the bills we sponsored (No First Use, Nuclear Ban Treaty Alignment, Back from the Brink, People’s Budget, and Build Bridges Not Bombs) had their hearing on September 24; People's Budget had a second hearing yesterday; Taxpayers Information is on Oct 31; State Flag & Seal (along with an anti-BDS bill that we oppose) on Nov 19.  Our Nuclear Weapons Divestment and Divest from the Yemen War/Raytheon bills will be heard in mid-November..   
On October 27, we’ll regroup in Worcester, recap the work already done, and make updated plans for the November crunch.
3) Each participating group is requested to speak and present their updates, proposals, and ideas.
The meeting is open to all people working for peace and justice in Massachusetts.  Activists from neighboring New England states are also invited to join the discussion.

“When I tell people that there were over 4,000 junior officers, lieutenants, and captains, inside the U.S. military brought suit against the Secretary of Defense for war crimes, who carried out demonstrations, who were quite active in their opposition, they are just astounded.” Listen now
This historic Courage to Resist podcast was produced in collaboration with the Vietnam Full Disclosure effort of Veterans For Peace — “Towards an honest commemoration of the American war in Vietnam.” This year marks 50 years of GI resistance, in and out of uniform, for many of the courageous individuals featured.
