Pushing for peace
CPJC announces new anti-war campaign
info@chicopeace.org.">About a dozen activists met at the Chico Peace & Justice Center on Tuesday morning (Oct. 10) to kick off their latest effort against global warfare, a campaign called Confronting Endless War. The organizers—Chris Nelson and Cathy Webster (pictured, left to right) and Emily Alma—spoke about the need for such an effort in light of the Unites States’ ongoing involvement in at least a half-dozen armed conflicts, the proliferation of U.S. military bases around the world and rising threats of nuclear conflict with Iran and North Korea. CPJC Executive Director Aramenta Hawkins also spoke about the center’s decades-long history of promoting peace. Organizers said they intend to partner with other local, national and worldwide peace efforts and tentatively scheduled the campaign’s first action for Armistice Day (Nov. 11). Anyone interested in participating in the effort should contact the CPJC at 893-9078 or email info@chicopeace.org.
