Hi All,
It looks like the War & Law League is really going to succeed in presenting this event: Dennis Kucinich on "An Urgent Meeting of Peace-makers," October 19, 2014, 3:00 pm, The Women's Building, 3543 18th St, San Francisco.
Today I mailed to the Women's Building part of my $200 pledge, to cover the balance of the venue deposit. Paul Lovinger, founder of the War & Law League, tells me that Dennis Kucinich has committed to speak for $500, a tiny fraction of his usual fee. Paul is still trying to negotiate travel expenses.
The LPSF voted months ago to be part of the coalition presenting this event. Right now, there are 14 other organizations, besides the LPSF, who have joined the coalition -- some pledging financial support, others not. The LPSF decided to provide publicity and fund raising support, but no money out of the LPSF treasury.
It would be great if you all could help, either by contributing a few dollars, distributing the attached flyer, letting family and friends know about the event, and definitely by attending on October 19. Contributions can be sent to The War & Law League, POB 42-7237, San Francisco, CA 94142. Or use the PayPal button on the LPSF website www.lpsf.org; but make sure you email me or the Activist List alerting me that the contribution is intended for this event.
BTW, it is indeed almost discouraging that nothing can be accomplished without money and effort! LPSF has been asking for money too for the November 2014 campaign. I think we better find some "Angel Investors in Liberty and Peace" to help out too.
Regards,
Marcy
