Massachusetts Peace Action Annual Meeting
------------------------------------------------------------
Join Massachusetts Peace Action [2] as we review our progress in 2011 and chart
the path for our work in 2012. We’ll elect new board members [3], discuss
plans for work towards a nuclear-free world, and build our organizing skills in
workshops.
Professor Neta Crawford of Boston University, co-director of the Cost of War
Project, will talk about the tragedy of American militarism and the cost in
lives and dollars of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Judith LeBlanc, Field Director for Peace Action, will update us on Peace
Action’s national campaign to Move the Money from the military to human needs
and discuss building coalitions with human service, labor, and community groups.
Workshop topics:
• Bringing Peace issues into the 2012 Elections and Bird Dog Training
• Organizing Your Community to Move the Money
• What’s Behind the US-Iran War Scare?
• Making the Media Work for You
Refreshments will be served
