Dear Friends,Join us this coming Friday for the First Friday Film & Discussion that we are cosponsoring with First Unitarian Society – Madison and many others who are united for peace and justice.

When the Jets Fly: New Warplanes Turn US Towns Into Sonic Hellscapes. Residents of Whidbey Island on the west coast & Burlington, Vermont on the east coast are being traumatized by US fighter jets. Madison, Wisconsin could be next. Learn what people are doing to resist the militarization of our communities. A discussion led by local and national leaders will follow the film showings. * Retired Air Force Colonel Rosanne Greco spent 30 years in active service specializing in strategic intelligence, nuclear weapons and arms control.
