Thanksgiving, a special day for giving thanks.
Consider rescuing a turkey, and eating a delicious Tofurky. Remember the less fortunate, and share what
you can with them.

Thanks for the Wal-Mart Strike is happening from Thurs., Nov. 22 at 1 PM
through Fri., Nov. 23 at noon at Rocketship, 1223 Decatur St., NW. Thousands of Wal-Mart workers across the
country will be walking off their jobs on Black Friday to protest illegal
retaliation and intimidation they have faced for standing up for respect, fair
pay, and better benefits at work. On Thanksgiving
Day, come to the Rocketship for an amazing Thanksgiving meal, and then head out
to the stores - sales start at 8 PM to show Wal-Mart workers that we support
them as they strike against the largest, richest corporation in the world.
If you can't make dinner and can still make the actions after, come to UFCW Local 400. 4301 Garden City Drive, Landover at 7 PM, and it will be done at midnight. RSVP

32] – Stephen Kobasa is hoping to do an
exhibit of the work of Tom Lewis opening in May 2013 in New Have, CT. It would
include a variety of his paintings, drawings, silkscreen prints, book
illustrations, posters, banners and sketchbooks. This would not only be a
display of objects on a gallery wall, but would also involve events which would
return Tom's art to the streets where it was originally meant to make
conscience visible.
Contact Stephen if you are in possession of original
work and would consider loaning it for a month long display. You can reach him
at stephen.kobasa at gmail.com or 203-500-0268.

"One is called
to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems impossible. It may
or may not be possible to turn the US around through nonviolent
revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of
violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
