#6 Special Appeal for August 12th at Anton & Bristol
From: Julie Colombero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Are you angered by the pro-industry/anti-people policies
of the Bush administration?
Are you concerned by the fact that too many people are
politically asleep and are oblivious to the government-
generated horrors happening in our country today?
Ever feel like just shouting Wake Up! to Bush supporters?
If so, join other like-minded people at my first
Wake Up, America demonstration!
Grab your 60s inspired spirit, along with your rally signs
and desire to make a difference, and help raise awareness
of the local Orange County commuting public.
Particulars
When: Friday, August 12, 2005
Time: 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Where: Costa Mesa, on Bristol at Anton, across from South
Coast Plaza.
If you cant make it for the whole time, just come when you can!
We will be joining a wonderful and large group of war
protesters who have gathered at this spot at this time for
years. We are sure to make an impact!
Attention Grabbing Stuff --
For you musical folk, bring your guitar or instrument of choice
and lets get some good tunes going!
Dont feel like standing for two hours? No problem! Just bring
a lightweight chaise lounge (or cot), pillow and blankies and
you can be our symbolic Sleeping American!
Do what you like! Lets have fun with this!

We have decided to move our serving day and free

Clemente Food Not Bombs, beginning in March, will
be serving in Max Berg Park at 3pm every Saturday.
Some new projects within San Clemente Food Not
Bombs have been:
providing clothes, house supplies, appliances, and anything
else donated that would be of use to the lower income families
which we work with in our community.
Books Not Bombs. BNB collects and redistrubutes reading
material, preferably progressive and historical writings,
and offers them to the community at no cost. BNB looks to
collect, among others, childrens books to be distrubuted to
Las Palmas Elememtary School, located across from the
park which SCFNB serves at.
Finally, SCFNB has begun a small collection of youth working
to send items and love into the prison industrial complex.

#7 Every Sunday evening in Huntington Beach:
"Peace vigil every Sunday night at the foot of the
Huntington Beach Pier, 7-8 pm
We are a small group of people who believe in
non-violence both physically and in our thoughts.
We stand at the pier with a sign that says:"Visualize
World Peace. It's up to you". We want people to
start believing that it is possible to have a world at
peace, even if it's hard for most people to even
imagine it. We will discuss peace and non-violence
in a spirit of dignity and respect with anyone who
is rational and smile quietly at those who aren't.
With all the violence in our world, we seek to
encourage people to look at the alternative - to seek
peace in their hearts and in our world.
