Friday Potluck; Peace Warriors Camilo Mejia and Kathy Kelly on DVD

This Friday, Sept.22, the Alaska Peace Center will
host a potluck (6pm) and DVD Presentations (7pm)of
Peace Warriors Camilo Mejia and Kathy Kelly who will
be coming to Fairbanks in person Oct.3 and 9th.

After serving 6 months in Iraq, Camilo's conscience
led him to refuse orders he believed to be illegal.
He was courtmartialed and served 9 months in the brig,
but continues to have the courage to speak out against
the war.

Kathy Kelly, humanitarian peace activist, is three
time nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts
to smuggle medicine and toys to children in Iraq
during time of sanctions and war, and recently
returned from Lebanon where she witnessed the 34-day
war. All who have watched her DVD "In a Time of Siege"
have been terrifically inpired.

The Fairbanks community is invited to the Peace Center to learn about various peace and justice related groups in town. There will be live music and finger food (your pot luck contribution welcome!), and lots of information...

The groups that use the building have been invited to have tables with thier literature and tell folks who they are. If you haven't been to the center yet, this is the perfect oportunity to check it out.

Also a great time to return those APC library items that maybe you've had for a while, and take out something new...

Rhythm Is The Mother Tongue: Drumming Circle

Tarika Lea presents:

Reflections on War & Peace - Veteran's Day at UAF

Though the Alaska Peace Center has no activities planned for Friday, November 11, some APC associates are sponsoring a peace presentation at UAF's Wood Center Ballroom. Posted on behalf of Tarika Lea and Jeanne Olson:

There's a bit of modification to the scheduling of events for Friday, November 11th. In recognition of this national holiday (it still feels right to call it Armistice Day), there will be a combined event, "Reflections on War & Peace" to be held at 7 p.m. in the UAF Wood Center Ballroom. There will be photos/video clips from the historic "March on Washington" held in September, & we will also honor the casualties of all war with song, prayer and drumming. (Please bring a drum, if you have one). We hope that by combining our presentations, there will be a greater sense of community and opportunity to wage peace.

To most Americans, this day is now known as Veteran's Day. However, a forgotten fact is that in 1938, the U.S. Congress declared "Each November 11th shall be dedicated to the cause of world peace and hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day."

hope to see you there.

Tarika Lea & Jeanne Olson
