Dear Members,

The days are getting warmer, the sun is peeking out more often, the Obama administration is rounding the 100 days milestone, and PDX Peace is gearing up for the summer! We have some great ideas about energizing, creative and powerful actions to take in the coming months to end our country's dependence on militarism, war and occupation. Come to the meeting on Monday to hear about some of those ideas, or bring your own!
