A Celebration of Peace 2008: A concert to benefit PDX Peace and the St. Luke Lutheran Church's Veterans Bridge Fund Sunday Afternoon Dec 28th, 2:30 p.m., The Old Church, 1422 SW 11th Ave., Portland. Suggested Donation $10 or more -- All Are Welcome, no one turned away With: RAINA ROSE "If a bottle of champagne could sing, it would sound a lot like Raina Rose: positively effervescent and sparkling with youthful enthusiasm. She's a joy" -- Tracy Grammer "Portland native Raina Rose is everything a young female folksinger should be... From her late duo the Gypsy Moths to her latest and best-yet C, The Prophet, the Panhanldler and the Moon, her vocal, guitar and songwriting chops continue to flourish." -- Jeff Rosenberg, Willamette Week "Her music is joyful, buoyant, exhilarating, and radically silly. It's smart, grin-inducing artistry that's thankfully grounded in the real world." -- D. R. Scott's Pulp Culture blog
MO MACK AND THE PEACEMAKERS Portland folksinger and peace activist Mo Mack is joined by the Peacemakers, John and Cynthia Boelling, in some classic peace folk songs and original pieces. Expect smooth, three part harmonies, stylish guitar playing, and high quality tunes. They will be joined by Scott Bickford of Schwing Daddies on bass.
And special guests: THE SUMMER QUARTET Four fabulous voices: John and Cynthia Boelling, Patrick Scofield, and Mel Downey. Yes, the four part blend is luscious, and they sing Bach, Beatles, madrigal, musical theater, and pop, but it's the fun and emotion that they sing with that makes them special. Yum! Start: 3:00 pm

After a year of blockades keeping vital medical supplies and aid from reaching Gaza, Israel has launched days of air raids against Gaza. Nearly 300 have died and several hundred more are wounded. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the operation "is liable to continue for some time, perhaps more than can be foreseen at the present time." We need to send a message that the slaughter of civilians is unacceptable. | ||||||||

EMERGENCY DEMONSTATION TOMORROW: PIONEER SQUARE 3:30 P.M. - STOP THE GENOCIDE NOW! CEASE FIRE NOW! The Israeli Army has invaded the Gaza Strip with a military force estimated at 10,000 troops using American-supplied military equipment, tanks and bulldozers backed by helicopter gunships. This invasion represents a serious escalation to the ongoing attacks and carnage that Israel has been committing against the 1.5 million Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip over the past eight days. Although Israel's war crimes against Palestinian civilians goes back decades, Israel's aerial bombardment over the past week alone has resulted in the killing of more than 450 Palestinian men, women and children and 2,000 have been wounded. The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated areas in the world with more than 6000 civilians living per sq km. In some areas such as the Jabalya refugee camp, one of the eight refugee camps in the Strip, 100,000 people live in an area no more than 1.4 sq km. The ground invasion will lead to a significant increase in civilian causalities.
STOP THE MASSACRES NOW!

Bring your Palestinian Flags and Signs, and tell your Friends and Neighbors ***** • The Israeli airstrikes represent serious violations of international law – including the Geneva Conventions and a range of international humanitarian law. • The U.S. is complicit in the Israeli violations – both directly and indirectly. • The timing of the air strikes has far more to do with U.S. and Israeli politics than with protecting Israeli civilians. • This serious escalation will push back any chance of serious negotiations between the parties that might have been part of the Obama administration’s plans. Get involved in the campaign to end the Israeli attacks and occupation of Palestinian land. --call your Senators and Congressional representatives and tell them to end US aid to Israel -a pre-written letter is available at www.adc.org
--Boycott companies that support the Israeli occupation, including L'Oreal and Motorola (If you do decide to boycott, be sure to contact the companies to let them know why.) -More info available at www.bdsmovement.net --Connect to local groups organizing to end the occupation -Americans United for Palestinian Human Rights: www.auphr.org,-Portland Peaceful Response Coalition: www.pprc-news.org or (503) 344-5078 --Educate yourself on the issue -daily news updates available at www.imemc.org, www.electronicintifada.net
