We're no longer in NY, the core five of the core six (Jim, Dona, Jess, Ty, Ava and C.I.), but if we were, we'd be attending this event. For those who are in the area or will be in the area:
Please join us for a special workshop presentation of The People
Speak by Rob Urbinati, with Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove, as part

Note that Sunday's event begins at 3:00 pm, not at seven as C.I. noted last week (and we've got up here). C.I. says that's fine and it's a reason to mention the event again in an Iraq snapshot this week. (The snapshot because it appears at other community sites in full.)
