National Day of Mourning

WHAT IS NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING?

An annual tradition since 1970, Day of Mourning is a solemn, spiritual and highly political day. Many of us fast from sundown the day before through the afternoon of that day (and have a social after Day of Mourning so that participants in DOM can break their fasts). We are mourning our ancestors and the genocide of our peoples and the theft of our lands. NDOM is a day when we mourn, but we also feel our strength in political action. Over the years, participants in Day of Mourning have buried Plymouth Rock a number of times, boarded the Mayflower replica, and placed ku klux klan sheets on the statue of William Bradford, etc.

There will be a march through the historic district of Plymouth. Plymouth has agreed, as part of the settlement of 10/19/98, that UAINE may march on Day of Mourning without the need for a permit as long as we give the town advance notice.

PROGRAM: Although we very much welcome our non-Native supporters to stand with us, it is a day when only Native people speak about our history and the struggles that are taking place throughout the Americas. Speakers will be by invitation only. This year's NDOM is once again dedicated to our brother Leonard Peltier.

SOCIAL: There will be a pot-luck social held after the National Day of Mourning speak-out and march this year. We anticipate that the hall that we have obtained is not large enough to seat everyone at once. We may have to do two seatings. Preference for the first seating will be given to Elders, young children and their mother/caretaker, pregnant women, Disabled people, and people who have traveled a long distance to join National Day of Mourning. Please respect our culture and our wish to ensure that these guests will be the first to be able to sit and eat. With this understanding in mind, please bring non-alcoholic beverages, desserts, fresh fruit & vegetables, and pre-cooked items (turkeys, hams, stuffing, vegetables, casseroles, rice & beans, etc.) that can be easily re-warmed at the social hall prior to the social. Thank you.

TRANSPORTATION: Limited carpool transportation may be available from Boston. Contact the Boston International Action Center at (617) 522-6626.

There is transportation available from New York City via the International Action Center. Call Marie at 212-633-6646 for more information.

Location:
Cole's Hill, Plymouth, Massachusetts: Cole's Hill is the hill above Plymouth Rock in the Plymouth historic waterfront area.

Directions: Directions: National Day of Mourning is held by the statue of Massasoit at Cole's Hill. Cole's Hill is the hill rising above Plymouth Rock on the Plymouth waterfront. If you need directions, use Water Street and Leyden Street in Plymouth, MA as your destination at mapquest.com. That will bring you to within a few hundred feet of Plymouth Rock and Cole's Hill. You can probably find a place to park down on Water Street.

Triangle Vegetarian Society

Thanksgiving 2004
Feast and Raffle with Prizes

The Triangle Vegetarian Society (TVS) will have its annual Thanksgiving feast and generous raffle at one of Dilip's favorite Triangle restaurants, Cafe Pariz�de in Durham (directions are below). Pariz�de is one of the Triangle's finest restaurants with a gourmet flair for fresh ingredients with Mediterranean influences, and this will be TVS' 6th consecutive Thanksgiving there (and 11th annual Thanksgiving Feast at an area restaurant).

Reservations are strongly recommended as we are expecting over 300 guests and have had to turn some people away in past years who came without reservations. To make a reservation, you can use our online Thanksgiving Reservation System, or you can contact Martin Blazevich at 919-416-1937.

There may be some changes, but here is our planned menu, beginning with a Fall Antipasto Buffet Table. We're planning on having a quinoa salad with olives, shallots, pine nuts, sundried tomatoes, and garlic in a base of the lovely crunchy grain quinoa, with arugula and rosemary-carmelized pear. Also planned are warm spinach orzo with pesto; braised garlicky greens; hearts of Romaine lettuce with lemon, olive oil, and capers; string bean almondine; lightly steamed corn-off-the-cob accented with smoked poblano peppers and cumin and served with a light sprinkling of lime juice and salt; roasted exotic mushrooms with fennel and garlic, drizzled with white truffle oil; and citrus couscous with dried fruits and garbanzo beans. We plan to offer a Mediterranean minty fatoush salad with toasted flat bread; breads, crustinis, and pita with Egyptian red lentil hummus, artichoke-spinach hummus, and baba ganouj; marinated olives; and spiced pecans.

For main courses, we have planned Dilip's cherry-kissed and seared tempeh with baby bok choy in a coconut milk curry; Moroccan sweet potato and squash tagine; Shepherd's Pie with wheat gluten, roasted root vegetables, and mushrooms, with a potato crust; roasted chestnut-barley risotto with Brussels sprouts; and Orecchiette pasta with fresh tomato-basil sauce. Also, we're planning roasted garlic olive oil mashed potatoes with chives; mushroom gravy, apple-pecan stuffing, fresh raspberry-cranberry relish, and Black Mission fig chutney; wild rice with crookneck squash; country cornbread; and sweet potato-leek-potato velout� (thickened soup).

For dessert, we are planning on fresh seasonal fruits, phyllo cookies, pumpkin pie with pomegranate glaze, cherry crisp, and cinnamon currant apple pie.

Apple cider, cranberry juice, water, herbal tea, and coffee will be included as part of the meal.

All of the food will be strictly vegan, or plant-based. There will be no animal, egg or dairy products, and no honey or white sugar in any of the food.

As in previous years, we will be having a generous raffle with prizes ranging from gift certificates from area businesses to cases of whole food products, fine chocolates, non-animal gardening fertilizers, and much more. Check out the current list of raffle prizes (prizes will continue to be added as we get closer to the event)!

The all-inclusive price is $20 for current members, $23 for other adults, and $9 for children aged 5-10; children younger than 5 eat for free.

Location:
Cafe Pariz�de is at 2200 W. Main in Durham, NH

Cost: $23

Miseria del militarismo. Una crítica del discurso de la guerra

MISERIA DEL MILITARISMO. UNA CRÍTICA DEL DISCURSO DE LA GUERRA.
Fernando Hernández. Virus, Barcelona, 2003. 120 pp. 5.00 €

PRESENTACIÓ DEL LLIBRE I DEBAT AMB:
Fernando Fernández Holgado. Madrid, 1964, autor del llibre. Membre del Movimiento de Objección de Conciencia de Madrid. Autor de "Historia de la OTAN. De la guerra fría al intervencionismo humanitario" (Los Libros de la Catarata,2000), "Soledad Real" (Ediciones del Orto,2001) i "Mujeres encarceladas. La prisión de las Ventas: de la República al franquismo, 1931-1941" (Marcial Pons,2003).

Pepe Beúnza. Primer objector de consciència de l'estat espanyol l'any 1971 i destacat activista antimilitarista.

:: Del llibre:
"El análisis del desarrollo de la política internacional en
Occidente a lo largo del último siglo permite al autor definir el “militarismo” como un sistema de valores que informa y atraviesa una sociedad dada, fundamentado en el miedo al Enemigo como coartada de una militarización creciente de la vida y de las conciencias de las personas, con el desbocado aumento del gasto militar como uno de sus numerosos síntomas."

Xerrada:Plan Puebla Panam�: alternativa de l'imperialisme a la reforma agr�ria

Xerrada a c�rrec de Domingo L�pez Lux, de l'organitzaci� popular de Guatemala Comit� de Unidad Campesina, CUC.

Guatemala porta d�cades suportant enganys i promeses adre�ades al moviment camperol sobre la possible repartici� de terres cultivables o dignificaci� del treball al camp. Ja han transcorregut deu mesos des que es va instal�lar al pa�s el govern que m�s promeses ha subscrit davant el sector camperol per aparentar trets populars i encobrir els seus origens olig�rquics. La resposta ha estat la m�s violenta i discriminat�ria des de la signatura dels Acords de Pau. L'oligarquia ha assaltat el poder amb l'afany de buscar la seva superviv�ncia agroexportadora en un context globalitzat, utilitzant el pa�s com la seva gran propietat per implementar els "megaprojectes" com a eix central per apropiar-se dels seus serveis, infraestructura i recursos naturals i posar-los en oferta davant els grans mercats capitalistes que es pretenen obrir amb el TLC (Tratado del Libre Comercio) i el PPP (Plan Puebla Panam�). La modalitat �s la concessi� a la inversi� de capital nacional dels principals ports, aeroports, carreteres, plantes de generaci� el�ctrica i reserves naturals de recursos no renovables.
