“We’re going to organize and change policy”

Congratulations from the national PDA team! Norman Solomon has received the Marin Democratic Party’s first Alex Forman Peace Award.

The award is named after a beloved environmentalist and peace activist. Alex Forman was generous and unflagging in his community work. When he died in July from chronic lymphocytic leukemia, he was serving as board president of the Marin Municipal Water District.

Since returning from a trip to Afghanistan last month, Norman has been speaking widely in the North Bay and beyond, warning against escalation of the war.
