Join Massachusetts Peace Action and the UJP Legislative Task Force as we review Congressional developments relating to peace issues.
Paul Kawika Martin, Political Director of Peace Action, will present updates from Washington on nuclear disarmament (e.g. the START treaty), Afghanistan related legislation, and the military budget. He will also briefly report on his recent trip to Japan for the 65th anniversary events in Hiroshima, and to Okinawa where the presence of a US military base is strongly contested.
We will discuss the state of peace organizing in each of Massachusetts’ 10 congressional districts and make plans to exert pressure during the upcoming lame duck session and for 2011.
Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to cole@masspeaceaction.org
