Subject: War Times (new anti-war newspaper) Update &
National Endorsers
Sorry if this is a duplicate.
PLEASE FREELY DISTRIBUTE AND POST
January 29, 2002
The pilot issue of WAR TIMES, a new biweekly newspaper
opposing the
"war on terrorism," will roll off the press on
February 14. (See the
new list of national endorsers below.) Featuring an
exclusive
interview with Danny Glover and a letter to President
Bush from Nobel
Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu, the premier of
this bilingual,
free publication will be distributed in several dozen
cities across
the country.
But we need your help to extend WAR TIMES' reach even
further and lay
a durable foundation for long-term publication. Please
join hundreds
of other activists across the country by contributing
in one or more
of the following ways:
***Volunteer to distribute the pilot issue to your
co-workers,
friends, classmates, family and/or members of your
organization.
Contact us at <wartimes@attbi.com>, EBC/War Times,
1230 Market
Street, PMB 409, San Francisco, CA 94102,
510-869-5156, to let us
know how many copies you would like and make
arrangements to get a
bundle to you.
***Make a tax-deductible contribution by sending a
check to EBC/War
Times at the address above, or sign up as a monthly
sustainer with a
pledge of $10/month or more.
***Volunteer your writing, photographic, or drawing
skills when WAR
TIMES goes into regular publication.
***Give us feedback on WAR TIMES' pilot issue so we
can make changes
and improvements for the first regular issue.
***Pass this message on to others who want to see a
regular,
accessible and hard-hitting anti-"war on terrorism"
message reach
hundreds of thousands of people in every community,
constituency and
region of the country.
***If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, come to
the big WAR
TIMES launch party, Saturday, Feb. 16, Noon- 4pm,
Mandela
Village/Youth Empowerment Center, 1357 Fifth Street,
West Oakland, to
discuss and strategize about the current "educational
moment" and
then fan out to distribute thousands of copies of this
free paper all
across the northern California (childcare provided but
please RSVP;
wheelchair accessible).
With your help, WAR TIMES can hit the ground with
tremendous momentum
and make a difference at this perilous time for our
country and the
world. We hope to hear from you.
