relatives: chimpanzees. In this hands-on, transportive multimedia exhibition
celebrating her extraordinary life and work, you’ll explore Dr. Goodall’s early
years through iconic images and a multiscreen experience and venture on a 3D
exploration of Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park where she did her famous
behavioral research on chimps. You’ll also see a life-size hologram of Dr.
Goodall, enter a replica of her research tent, and learn about her current role
as a leader in community-centered conservation and youth empowerment. Before
you leave, you will find out what you can do today to make a positive impact in
the world.

58] – The PLOWSHARES SENTENCING is PENDING, so please WRITE THE JUDGE.
Now is the time to write letters to Judge Lisa Godbey Wood regarding her
sentencing of the Kings Bay Plowshares 7. The group is collecting letters,
especially from those who know the defendants, testifying to their character
and the good work that they are doing in their communities which will not be
done if they are serving long terms in prison. These letters are not the forum
to criticize the law, the legal process or government policies. Rather it
is the place to point out positive things about the defendants that should
mitigate a harsh sentence. Letters should be sent to defense attorney
Bill Quigley at the address below. He will compile them and distribute to
various defendants' attorneys for delivery to Judge Wood. The attorneys suggest
it would be helpful to get these done by Thanksgiving or the week after in
order to get processed and delivered. Sentencing may be in January or possibly
February. The best letters are simple, polite, and tell good things
about the person you are writing to support.
The suggested format is as follows:
Date
Sender’s Name
Sender’s Address
Judge Lisa Godbey Wood
C/o Bill Quigley
Loyola University New Orleans Law Clinic
Campus Box 902
7214 St. Charles Avenue
New Orleans, LA 70118
Regarding Sentencing of: Mark Colville [or] Clare Grady [or]
Martha Hennessy [or] Fr. Steve Kelly SJ [or] Elizabeth McAlister [or] Patrick
O’Neill [or] Carmen Trotta (or all seven of the Kings Bay Plowshares)
Dear Judge Wood,
Suggested outline for the letter:
- Explain who you are.
- Explain who you are writing about, how you know them, and what
good they do for their community.
- Explain why the Judge should not send them to jail.
- Thank the Judge for reading your letter.
Valediction,
Signature
For more ideas and details for your letters, you are welcome to
see the defendants' biographies here: https://kingsbayplowshares7.org/about/bios/.
Thank you for your attentiveness to the trial, your support for
the defendants and their families, and your focus on the issue of the abolition
of nuclear weapons.
As Fr. Steve Kelly says, "The nuclear weapons won't go away
by themselves." We do this work together.

– 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

Join an extraordinary global campaign for
the elimination of nuclear weapons: http://www.globalzero.org/sign-declaration.
A growing group of leaders around the world is calling for the elimination of
nuclear weapons and a majority of the global public agrees. This is an
historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the
balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.

“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
