A message from Norman Solomon, National Co-Chair Healthcare Not Warfare

“While the news about Afghanistan remains very grim, opposition to the war continues to grow. As co-chair of the foreign policy committee of the California Democratic Party’s Progressive Caucus, I was glad to co-author a resolution titled End the U.S. Occupation and Air War in Afghanistan.

“When the party’s executive board approved that resolution in mid-November — putting the state Democratic Party officially on record — the political shock waves zoomed all the way to Washington. My article ‘Biggest State Party to Obama: Get Out of Afghanistan’ provides a run-down on the resolution’s passage and its political impact.

“To help sustain the momentum of the resolution, on Sunday afternoon (Dec. 6) we’ll have a special Afghanistan Action gathering at a private home in Mill Valley, where I’ll talk about my recent trip to Kabul and present plans for a new media/organizing project to promote alternatives to more war in Afghanistan.

The reception starts at 4 p.m., with the program beginning at 5 p.m.; hope to see you there.
While the event is free, you’re asked to bring a checkbook in hopes you’ll decide to make a donation.

Please RSVP by emailing me at mediabeat@igc.org and I’ll send you the address and directions.

“It’s very important that we continue to organize for a transformation of U.S. policy in Afghanistan, so I hope you’ll be able to make it to the Dec. 6 event.”
