UFP&J Report
Hey All,
It was a rewarding time in St. Louis at the United for Peace & Justice convention ( www.unitedforpeace.org/ ) !! Sorry I didn’t phone in a commentary – things were hectic. The youth brigade from Columbus, Ohio (one of whom traveled there and back with me) were VERY active, socially as well as politically. I spent most of my time at the display table proselytizing for NION ( http://www.notinourname.net/index.html ) and Ukuleles for Sanity (http://www.ukesanity.org/ ).
The youth made a lot of headway networking with their peers and I felt pretty good about the consciousness-raising I managed regarding Ukuleles for Sanity. Bill Robertson of Rock That Uke fame ( www.rockthatuke.com ) produced some great handouts, some of which I ought to post here along with some links (since I think I know how to do that now). Think I’ll do that (soon)!!
A highlight for me of the convention was hearing activists Angela Davis and Danny Glover speak at St. Louis University Sunday night. Strong, dedicated folks, those two. It’s going to take a lot of such folks to turn out the boy-president and his reactionary agenda.

Hi Tom,
It must have been an interesting, worthwhile conference. While you were there, I saw Glover in The Color Purple. Cathy and I watched it on the hospital TV. Sondra
