Hi folks,

Two great events this week. The Haiti event is sponsored by the Church
Council and the outdoor Rolling Thunder is always a wonderful experience.
I'll being making a presentation on Jubilee Economics at 1pm (tent #12) at
the Rolling Thunder and will be the closing speaker at 7pm. Great
educational/networking opportunities but the real joy is the music Dana
Lyons is udderly (no pun intened) superb!

Rich lang



Haiti under Siege: The Struggle for Full Human Rights and Democracy Today

Thursday, August 11, at 7 pm at Trinity United Methodist Church (6512 23rd
Ave NW in Ballard)

Eyewitness Report Back by Seth Donnelly, a California High School Teacher
who was a member of the US Labor/ Human Rights Delegation that was
recently in Haiti, investigating labor and human rights conditions.

The presentation will include video footage of Cite Soleil, one of the
poorest neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince. This video footage provides
evidence of a massacre by UN troops on July 6th, 2005. This massacre has
been ignored and/or covered up by the US mainstream media.

Learn about the Destructive Role of US Foreign Policy on Haiti & What You
Can Do to Stand in Solidarity with the Haitian People.

*** Sponsored by Church Council of Greater Seattle and Endorsed by Western
Washington Fellowship of Reconciliation
