"The Potluck for Progressives" is a group
organized for the purpose of bringing together
likeminded people on a monthly basis to break
bread and talk about crucial issues affecting the
community and the world.
At each meeting, people interested in peace,
social justice, labor, and the environment gather
to exchange ideas, talk about successes, plan
actions, or just engage in a friendly discussion
with one another.
Please join us! Bring a dish to share! Enjoy
the bounty that others bring as well! The potluck
will start at 6:30 P.M. with a speaker, film, and
discussion to follow.
On the Agenda:
Progressive Potluck
6:30 - 7:30 P.M.
Bring along your favorite dish
of food, chips, dips, or soft
drinks, and spend an hour mingling
with progressive people from all
over Orange County.
Featured Speakers:
7:30 - 8:15 P.M.
Arlene Inouye, Coordinator of the
Coalition Against Militarism in Our
Schools (CAMS) and Robert Acosta, an
Iraq War Veteran (2003) with Operation
Truth, will deliver a presentation
about the ongoing efforts to raise
awareness and mobilize the public against
the aggressive and deceptive tactics
military recruiters use in our
public school system to get working-class
youth to join the U.S. armed forces.
Arlene will talk about the work that
CAMS has been doing in the Southern
California area to counteract the
influence of military recruiters in
our public schools (especially in
working-class Mexican and African-American
communities) and promote nonmilitary
alternatives to young people. Robert
will share about what happened with
him personally when he was recruited
into the U.S. Army. shortly
after dropping out from Santa Ana
High School and why he's decided to
speak out about it now. CAMS is a part
of the Human Rights Committee of
the United Teachers of Los Angeles
(UTLA).
PLEASE BRING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
OR ANY YOUNG PEOPLE WHO YOU THINK
MIGHT BENEFIT FROM BEING EXPOSED
TO THE REAL FACTS ABOUT JOINING THE
MILITARY.

Open discussion, announcements,
and other news of interest.
