11:00 am Ending Occupation from Iraq to Afghanistan to Palestine
(a series of educational activities looking more in depth at US foreign policy in the Middle East and what we can do about it here at home)

South Park Blocks

3:00 pm Public Reading: Martin Luther King’s “Beyond Vietnam” ... 42 years later, an inspiration for the peace movement
