Veterans for Peace, CPL Jonathan Santos Memorial Chapter 111

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Local Veterans for Peace and Whatcom Peace and Justice to Host

Activist/Author Cindy Sheehan

WHEN: Wednesday, July 29, 2009
WHERE:  Christ the Servant Lutheran Church

2600 Lakeway Drive, Bellingham, WA at 7 pm

Bellingham’s Veterans For Peace Chapter 111, www.vfp111.org , along with the Whatcom Peace and Justice Center, is hosting an evening with Cindy Sheehan – Gold Star Mother, 2005 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, anti-war activist, author, and 2008 Independent Congressional candidate – on the last stop of her Myth America speaking tour on Wednesday, July 29.

Her recently published internet book entitled Myth America: 10 Greatest Myths of the Robber Class and the Case for Revolution follows three other books, including Not One More Mother’s Child, Dear President Bush, and Peace Mom: A Mother’s Journey Through Heartache to Activism.

Sheehan’s presentations have focused on her belief that it is social and class inequities that divide us.  She’s also expressed her frustration with what she describes as the narrowness of the peace movement today.  “War is wrong no matter who is president,” she has said.  “We have to be just as diligent under the new administration as we were under the old.”

Cindy is hoping to spark dialogue and re-invigorate activism.

Admission by donation.
