will be an historic gathering of groups and people to end US wars at home and

These are End U.S. wars at
home and abroad. Create a peace economy that meets people's needs and protects
the planet. Respect the self-determination of all people and nations.
Create transformative change by building a movement of movements. The Peace
Congress arose from the successful effort to stop President Trump’s military
parade scheduled for November 10. With a desire to continue to build on the
momentum created by this organizing effort, the groups continued to meet and
decided to convene a Peace Congress to determine more ways of collaborating.
The Peace Congress is open to all who want to participate.

events includes Catharsis on the Mall – an annual event at the National Mall
near the Washington Monument (15th St. & Constitution Ave. NW) will happen

– On Fri., Nov. 9 from 6 to
10 PM, enjoy the Heartstrings by Artists from The Khmer Magic Music Bus, hosted
by the City Winery and Cambodian Living Arts (CLA). The
performance will be at the City Winery, 1350 OKIE ST. NE, WDC 20002.
Tickets are at citywinery.com.
During the years of the
Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979), Cambodia’s arts scene was almost destroyed. 90%
of the country’s artists were killed, and 90% of musical instruments destroyed.
In total, around 2 million Cambodians were killed or died as a direct result of
the regime’s actions and policies. In the 40 years since, the arts have
experienced a profound revival - today the arts scene is vibrant, expanding
every year. Arts remain a vital medium for healing, education, and reflection,
and a catalyst for transformation, on a personal, community and national level.
Heartstrings explores the
personal journeys of five musicians from Cambodia. Through a mix of
storytelling and music, the artists share some intimate insights into their
experiences over the past 20 years. What does it mean to conceal your passion
and your livelihood, or to be forced to play propaganda music to survive? What
does it mean to rewrite memories you thought you had? And what does it mean to
be a daughter of one of the few surviving Master Artists? Witness the music
that defined them, hear their stories, learn about the people who shaped them,
and celebrate the power of the arts in building peace. Featuring renowned flute
player, human rights activist, and founder of Cambodian Living Arts, Arn
CHORN-POND, side Seyma THORN, Master Mann MEN, his daughter Mao MEN, and Savang
TOCH.
Building on 20 years
working in the field of arts for transformation in Cambodia, in November 2019
Cambodian Living Arts (CLA) will host the arts4peace Festival - a month of
performances, screenings, discussions, workshops, and community events. The
arts4peace festival will be a platform for artists to tell their own stories,
and provide a space for transmission, dialogue, and reflection. Through the
festival, artists and audiences can explore ideas about peace and conflict,
histories and future, remembrance and reconciliation, and creativity and
identities. Heartstrings represents the launch of the arts4peace festival
as part of the arts4peace tour to the US.
The
performance will be followed by a live auction/fundraiser to raise funds for
Cambodian Living Arts’ arts4peace Festival and to invite people to come and
experience it for themselves. All proceeds from this event directly
contribute to the realization of Cambodian Living Arts mission to be a catalyst
in a vibrant arts sector, inspiring new generations. Commissioned by Cambodian
Living Arts. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/299600484171139/.

Do you have any interest in challenging the Trump administration for reneging
on the Iran Deal? If yes, would you be interested in joining a Peace Caravan to
the Iranian embassy in Washington, D.C.? Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or
mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.
72]
– It is a violation of
U.S. law for us to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only
Congress can declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the
war drums for war against Iran and North Korea. The Mueller investigation is
tightening the vise, and could cause Trump to attack those countries in order
to divert attention from Russian interference in the 2016
presidential election. Such a military strike would demand an immediate
and unequivocal response from us to show that we will not tolerate his abuse of
power.
Let's mobilize to show that we the
people will not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound
to have profound negative consequences. If a preemptive military strike
against Iran or North Korea takes place, then meet outside the War Memorial, 101 N. Gay St., Baltimore, MD 21202. If the
attack is before 2 PM local time, then events will begin at 5 PM,
local time. If the attack occurs after 2 PM local time, then events
will begin at noon, local time, the following day. Contact Max
at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.

“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
