Help me work for peace?

Dear friends,

I'm going to Europe this summer, to represent the United National Antiwar Coalition (unacpeace.org) at several major antiwar events.  From June 27-30 I'll be participating in meetings and protests at the massive U.S. Air Force base in Ramstein, Germany, where the Pentagon directs its drone warfare. July 7-8 I'll be in Brussels, Belgium, speaking at conferences and attending protests against the North American Treaty Organization (NATO), which will be holding its annual Summit at its new headquarters in that city. In between, I'll be traveling to several other European cities to meet with peace activists to see how those of us in the U.S. and Europe can work more closely to oppose war and fascism in our countries and around the world.

Both UNAC and the Virginia Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality, a founding UNAC member, are all-volunteer organizations. We're not part of the nonprofit-industrial complex that seduces activists and then prevents them from opposing U.S. wars. We rely on our own resources and support from our friends and allies. UNAC is covering some costs for this trip and I'm contributing $1,000 of my own money. I’ll be staying with activists and traveling as cheaply as possible - but I still need to raise another $1,000. I'll appreciate any amount you could contribute. Every bit helps, and lots of little bits add up - and also let me know you support this effort. I promise not to enjoy myself (too much) - although I have really enjoyed fighting U.S. wars, militarism and imperialism for more than 50 years.

Thanking you in advance,
