  Dear Friends:   


  Does it sometimes seem like the march towards global U.S. Empire, led by the violence of war, is now inevitable?


  Does it sometimes seem like there are no viable alternatives? 


  If we REALLY said NO to war, what could we say YES to?


  I invite you on December 6 to an evening of hope, inspiration (and good food) at Cafe Flora to meet the EXTRAORDINARY folks from the GLOBAL NONVIOLENT PEACEFORCE.


  The PEACEFORCE is truly global, with representatives from every continent.


  The PEACEFORCE governance is dominated by Third World peoples. 


  The PEACEFORCE is built on decades of experience with nonviolent intervention all over the globe. 


  The PEACEFORCE on the ground, NOW, having an impact in their first pilot project in Sri Lanka. 


  I can't put into words my enthusiasm for this organization.  Okay, here, I'll try:


  WHEN YOUR OR YOUR FRIENDS' GRANDCHILDREN ASK HOW THE WORLD TURNED AWAY FROM WAR, YOU WILL WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT YOU WERE IN, FROM THE EARLY DAYS, AS A SUPPORTER OF THE NONVIOLENT PEACEFORCE. 


  So, here's your opportunity:


  Monday, December 6, 2004
  Dinner/Fundraiser at Cafe Flora for the NONVIOLENT PEACEFORCE
  2901 E. Madison St.  Seattle


  SPECIAL GUEST:  Claudia Samayoa, Guatemalan human rights activist, Co-Chair of the International Governing Council of the Nonviolent Peaceforce. 


  Every dollar raised at this event will generate two dollars of match, up to $50,000. 


  Please RSVP by return e-mail to me, and to Shannon Turner-Covell at peaceshannon at earthlink.net.   Or call Shannon at 425-485-0145.


  FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO ANY OF YOUR FRIENDS.
