In the words of the organizer\: I am a politically active 13 years old\, turning 14 February. I began organizing weekly peace marches protesting the Iraq war and have continued to organize them since January 28th 2007. We have marched in the sun\, in the pouring rain\, in the wind and in hail. Nothing will stop the us from telling every one we pass that there are people dying every day. We have had up to 23 people on one march\, and at least 300 honks. Cars\, fire trucks\, buses and police cars have all honked (or sounded sirens) in support.
I have been trying to reach kids\, like me\, specifically because we need to make our voices heard. We will inherit this country and the planet\, along with its rich\, and sometimes great\, sometimes dreadful\, history. We can't let our international credibility be tarnished\, dragged in the mud and ripped to shreds. We need to stand up for our credibility\, for our brave men and women in uniform shipped off to a country on the other side of the planet and for the Iraqi people who have been slaughtered in the name of "\;Democracy"\; and "\;Freedom."\; If you would like to stand up and say "\;ENOUGH"\;\, if you would like to stand up for peace\, then show up on Sundays. We meet at 1\:30 behind Sunnyside Environmental School\, on 35th and Taylor. The march goes on for about 45 minutes to an hour.

ON THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL\, A UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNA LAW PROFESSOR CALLS FOR ISRAEL TO BECOME A SECULAR DEMOCRATIC STATE AND TO END ITS APARTHEID REGIME OVER PALESTINIANS.
Portland\, Ore.\, May 6\, 2008. On May 31\, 2008\, in Hoffman Hall\, 1833 SW 11th Avenue\, at Portland State University\, Dr. George Bisharat\, University of California Hastings College of Law Professor and former legal consultant to the Palestinian Authority will call for one secular democratic state for Palestinian Arabs and Israeli Jews as a durable solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Dr. Bisharat will offer his legal perspective on how Israel may continue to be a home for the Jewish people when the Palestinian right of return is implemented. The lecture is part of a half-day program sponsored by Americans United for Palestinian Human Rights to commemorate the Palestinian dispossession and expulsion from what became Israel in 1948. The program includes the following\:
Native American Sovereignty Drumming in Solidarity with the Palestinian People\, Jerry Rainingbird at 1\:00pm\;
“Sons of Eilaboun”\, a documentary film at 1\:30pm\;
Dr. Bisharat Lecture\, “Ending the Palestinian Nakba”\, 2\:00pm\;
“Sands of Sorrow”\, a documentary film\, 4\:00pm\; and\,
United Nations Relief and Works Agency Photo Exhibit\, “The Palestinian Dispossession and Expulsion” All Day
About Dr. Bisharat\: Dr. Bisharat teaches Criminal Procedure\, Law and Social Anthropology\, and Law in Middle East Societies at the University of California in San Francisco\, Hastings College of Law. He graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1983 and holds a B.A. in Anthropology (UC Berkeley\, 1975)\, an M.A. in History (Georgetown University\, 1979)\, and a Ph.D. in Anthropology and Middle East Studies (Harvard University\, 1987). His study of the impact of the Israeli occupation on the Palestinian legal profession of the West Bank\, Palestinian Lawyers and Israeli Rule\: Law and Disorder in the West Bank\, was published in 1989. In recent years\, Professor Bisharat has consulted with the Palestinian Legislative Council over the structure of the Palestinian judiciary\, reforms in criminal procedure\, and other aspects of legal development.
About Americans United for Palestinian Human Rights\: AUPHR is a Portland-based grassroots organization that advocates for a US foreign policy that promotes adherence to and compliance with international human rights norms by all countries including Israel.
The weekly peace march\, open to all\, is led and organized by a 13 year old and has been going strong for a year. We meet at SE Taylor and 35 street (Sunnyside Environmental School playground). (Note\: no peace march on Sunday February 24\,2008 due to PeaceJam at OSU that weekend)

We demand that all the Oregon Delegation now come out with a clear statement calling for the Impeachment of Dick Cheney and/or G.W. Bush.

We meet at SE Taylor and 35 street (Sunnyside Environmental School playground). (Note\: no peace march on Sunday February 24\,2008 due to PeaceJam at OSU that weekend)
In the words of the organizer\: I am a politically active 13 years old\, turning 14 February. I began organizing weekly peace marches protesting the Iraq war and have continued to organize them since January 28th 2007. We have marched in the sun\, in the pouring rain\, in the wind and in hail. Nothing will stop the us from telling every one we pass that there are people dying every day. We have had up to 23 people on one march\, and at least 300 honks. Cars\, fire trucks\, buses and police cars have all honked (or sounded sirens) in support.
I have been trying to reach kids\, like me\, specifically because we need to make our voices heard. We will inherit this country and the planet\, along with its rich\, and sometimes great\, sometimes dreadful\, history. We can't let our international credibility be tarnished\, dragged in the mud and ripped to shreds. We need to stand up for our credibility\, for our brave men and women in uniform shipped off to a country on the other side of the planet and for the Iraqi people who have been slaughtered in the name of "\;Democracy"\; and "\;Freedom."\; If you would like to stand up and say "\;ENOUGH"\;\, if you would like to stand up for peace\, then show up on Sundays. We meet at 1\:30 behind Sunnyside Environmental School\, on 35th and Taylor. The march goes on for about 45 minutes to an hour.
