37] –CCAN Action Fund [info@ccanactionfund.org] needs you in Philadelphia on Wed., Oct. 23, Thurs,, Oct. 24 & Fri., Oct. 25 from 9 AM to noon, noon to 3 PM or 3 to 5 PM ET.  Don’t like phone banking? Don’t like knocking on doors? You want to do something for Kamala Harris that feels more concrete and immediate?  You can get ten people per day to vote for Kamala Harris just by standing on a sidewalk.

Stand outside those offices throughout the Philadelphia area and ask passersby, “Have you voted? Want to vote now? Takes 10 minutes.”  Even better: Unregistered voters can get registered and vote at the same time, using the same method! This event to register Pennsylvania voters will continue through Oct. 29.

42] – The Vietnam Peace Commemoration Committee [vnpeacecomm-gmail.com@shared1.ccsend.com] on Wed., Oct. 22 at 8 PM ET is hosting a webinar on the Antiwar Movement in Australia, Japan and Korea, and an update on the Vietnam trip. During the 1960’s and early 1970’s sustained popular opposition to U.S. intervention in Indochina developed in countries thought of as U.S. allies.  US bases in Australia, Japan and South Korea supported the war effort. Australia and South Korea sent troops. In the case of Australia, opposition advanced beyond forms of verbal dissent to include a significant degree of draft resistance.  Peace activists also provide support for resistors in the US military, including deserters. Three knowledgeable observers of, and participants in, opposition will share their experiences in peace movements that were not well known to US activists.
