Wednesday, June 21, 6:45 pm: HW Peace Meeting

U.S. Social Forum Round-Up:

Please join us at the monthly Membership meeting to discuss the recent U.S. Social Forum. We would like people who attended the forum to share their experiences and ideas. There were many passionate people that attended from all parts of the world-- many had great community organizing methods that could inspire our future efforts. What did you learn at the workshops that can be translated into effective peace-minded actions?

Juan Cole Talk on Afghanistan Conflict -- Informative and Well Attended
Over 270 attendees packed the Royal Oak First United Methodist Church on November 14 to learn more about Afghanistan, the country that has been the epicenter of the United States' fight against terrorism since the events of 9/11. Juan Cole, one of the foremost experts on America's troubled relations with the Islamic world, shed light on the varied ethnic population of Afghanistan and how our eight year occupation has so far succeeded in possibly recruiting more extremists than in securing our nation.
