<h2 style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">The Conference</h2>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><strong>Fall 2011 marks ten years</strong> since 9/11, the War on Terror, the Afghanistan War, and the founding of UJP. The US/NATO bombing of Libya is the latest in the series of wars. Domestically, greed is rampant and serious problems are getting worse. Few peace and justice activists can remember a more troubling time.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">How did we get here and how can we change things?</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">What can we learn from the historic events in Egypt, where the people triumphed against huge odds, and the workers of Wisconsin?</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">How can the peace movement continue its work to end the wars and cut the military budget while also building cooperation with the economic and racial justice movements?</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">We want a peaceful foreign policy based on democracy to focus on the pressing economic and human problems that must be solved.</p>

<h2 style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">About UJP</h2>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Born on the very evening of the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers, UJP called for a peaceful response to the crisis and played a leading role in opposing the initial attack on Afghanistan and the drive toward war in Iraq. Dozens of peace and justice organizations and local community groups soon affiliated with UJP, which is now the largest peace and justice coalition in Eastern Massachusetts.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><img alt="Bring Troops & War $$$ Home" width="150" vspace="5" hspace="10" align="left" src="http://justicewithpeace.org/files/u415/BringTroopsHomeLogo.jpg">UJP sponsored educational programs, vigils, Congressional lobbying, buses to national protests and organized many demonstrations including the largest on Boston Common in a generation in an effort to stop the Iraq War. We learned about the importance of both grassroots and national organizing; the essential link of the wars abroad to the war at home against workers, people of color, and immigrants; the reality of multiple approaches to work and strategy and the need to seek common ground while reserving differences.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Registration Fee $15. Free for Suffolk University students and faculty with ID. No one turned away. Pre-registration opens August 15 at <a href="http://justicewithpeace.org/ten-years-after">http://justiceiwthpeace.org/ten-years-after</a>.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Registration opens at 9am at the Donahue Building, 41 Temple St. (Take the T to Park St or Government Center. Do not confuse Temple St. with Temple Place). Sessions will be held in Donahue and in the C. Walsh Theatre next door.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Sponsored by United for Justice with Peace and the Suffolk University Department of Government</p>
