has worked to prevent the abuses of factory farming and advocated for a
sustainable plant based food system. He has been vegan since 1985, and Time
Magazine called him “the conscience of the food movement” and Oprah Winfrey
named him as one of her SuperSoul 100 Givers. Gene’s activism has deep
roots in Lancaster, PA where he spent years campaigning to stop animal cruelty
at Lancaster Stockyards. In 1986 he rescued a sheep who was discarded on a pile
of dead animals behind the stockyard. She recovered and lived at Farm Sanctuary
for more than ten years, and her rescue helped to spawn a global farm sanctuary
movement that encompasses hundreds of sanctuaries across the U.S. and around
the world.

– The Trump
Administration is again beating the war drums. Most recently, the target
is Iran. Should the Trump administration initiate an act of war against
Iran, consider joining us. It is a violation of U.S. law for the Trump
Administration 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 Venezuela. Should a war criminal, John Bolton,
convince Trump to attack either of these countries, 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 military strike against Iran
or Venezuela takes place, then meet at 33rd and N.
Charles St., Baltimore 21218. If the attack is before 2 PM local
time, then the event will begin at 5 PM, local time. If the attack
occurs after 5 PM local time, then the event will begin at 5 PM,
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
