Peace Picnic at Otsiningo Park

ANNUAL PEACE PICNIC
On Sunday, August 26th the peace and social justice community will hold its annual Potluck Peace Picnic at Otsiningo Park. This is a fabulous
opportunity for all peace and social justice groups to come out and share information about their organization - and share some fun too!

This informal potluck was a huge success last year and this year we're expecting an even greater turnout. There'll be live music, featuring
singer-songwriter colleen Kattau, an acoustic "Peace Jam", activities for children and more fun is being planned.

Please bring:

whatever food or drink you'd like to share - know that some people are vegetarians or vegans, so label contents of dishes please.

*In the interest of sustainability, please bring your own non-disposible
dishes, utensils, etc. We will provide charcoal for grilling.

*Acoustic instruments to join the Peace Jam

*Printed matter about your group, petitions to sign, campaign matter for favorite candidates, information of interest you want to make available (Note: organizers will not censor material, folks should feel free to offer whatever they like and to take only what they want to with no pressure)

*Kids, friends, neighbors - any and all folks who are interested, even (or maybe especially) folks who are reluctant to come to peace rallies or protests of any kind, but who might want to meet other people who long for a more peaceful world

*Groups may choose one member to speak VERY Briefly (2 to 3 minutes) about the group. This is not a forum for long speeches but an opportunity to introduce ourselves to each other and to socialize and converse on an informal level while relaxing and playing together.

Please help:

*Please print and post flyers in all of the usual places and all the unusual ones as well. Email us and we'll send the flyers as attachments

*We could use some help in setting up, and also, in organizing fun games and activities for kids. If you can help, let us know.

Radical History Reading Circle - Summer FreeSkool!

Hi!

Interested in reading some good books and discussing them? You may have heard about the Ithaca Freeskool by now - it is a non-heierarchial, peer-to-peer (mostly adult oriented) learning environment for skill shares, projects, classes and discussion groups. This summer is our second term, and we have a great set of free classes for the community.

As part of the freeskool, we are beginning a Tuesday evening reading/discussion circle looking mostly at radical

history…the plan is to start with readings from Emma Goldman's

Anarchism and Other Essays, followed by parts of Howard Zinn's

(howardzinn.org) Peoples History of the United States.

With the nature and scope of the readings, we

feel it is especially important to try and make this group as open and

non-heierarchial as possible, but at the same time show that this will

not devolve into a flaky non-productive setting. So the class will be

open to moving in directions that participants consense on taking it.

Among other places on the web, you can find Emma's book at:

http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/goldman/GoldmanCW.html

Zinn's book can be found at:

http://historyisaweapon.com/zinnapeopleshistory.html

with some other resources available at:

http://www.synaptic.bc.ca/ejournal/HowardZinn.htm

The first meeting will be important in trying to set the scope,

decision process, meeting places and curriculum/itinerary for the

group. While

drop-ins to the group are likely to alway be welcome, we hope if the

process for the group is important to folx, that they will try to make

it

to the first meeting.
