Reminder - Daniel Ellsberg to Speak for AFSC - Monday February 15 
Friends,

During the Vietnam War, Henry Kissinger described Daniel Ellsberg as “The most dangerous man in America.” Dan remains among the most trenchant critics of the national security state, pained and outraged by the suffering it brings abroad and here at home.

You can meet and learn from him on Monday, February 15.

A senior Pentagon and Rand Corporation official for Presidents Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, Dan was sentenced to 109 years in prison for making the Pentagon Papers – the Pentagon’s secret history of the Vietnam war – public in a heroic effort to force an end to the war’s killing. Since then Dan has become a long-term resource for the peace movement and has been arrested many times for participating in nonviolent protests.

At 5:00, Dan will be providing a “Critique of Obama’s U.S. National Security Policy” (suggested contribution $10, no need to RSVP.) 

Our program begins with a fund raising reception with Dan (4:00 – 5:00 P.M.) for AFSC’s Peace and Economic Security Program. ($40 per person, please RSVP to 617-661-6130 ext. 119)

Join us at the Cambridge Friends Meeting (5 Longfellow Park, just off Brattle St.) at 5 P.M. 

Hoping to see you there.

Joseph Gerson
