This means it is yes to the national tour by some or all of the five
Israeli draft resisters just released from prison. They arrive in the US and the
national tour begins October 23 and extends through Novermber 25. The
national tour is being organized by the Refuser Solidarity Network and
AFSC.
The New England portion is from October 30 to November 4. In the next few
days I will be scheduling a teleconference for next week to set an itinerary for
the New England portion of their tour. They can speak at five to six cities or
towns in New England during this period. Please email me immediately if you are
interested in considering organizing an event for them at your campus or in your
community so you can be included in the telecon.
For those in other parts of the country who would like to consider
organizing an event contact Judith Kolokoff at
