Middle East Crisis

Friends,

Please visit this link that Mona has passed along and take action now at http://www.democracyinaction.org/jvfp/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=4678&t. This is a very one-sided bill.

Vazaskia is back on line

I'm back on line and finally able to sign onto the Blog. Thanks Laurie!

Yes, I've Registered--You Should Too!

Folks, I'm telling you, just go here http://www.ups.edu/documents/RPCAgenda.pdf and browse the schedule. This is an incredible opportunity, right here in Tacoma. Nearly 60 different panels and 100 workshops presented by people from all over the country and even internationally, on an impressive range of topics. This is BIG! Once you've looked over the schedule, then go here http://www.ups.edu/x9988.xml and get registered. And take what Rosalind says to heart--the Cornell West lecture and reception at the Glass Museum is going to sell fast. I've seen Cornell West at both UPS' Fieldhouse and Evergreen's College Rec Center Gynmasium, both of which hold around 3,000 and both of which were standing room only.

I'll see YOU there!

Laurie

UPS Race & Pedagogy Conference

Dear Conversation Family,

This is a gentle nudge to get you to drop what you're doing right now, right this second and log on to UPS Race & Pedagogy Conference and register. You may think there's a lot of time left for you to register between now and the conference's start date of 9/14, but you'd think wrong. Why? Well, for one thing, there are only 300 tickets available for the Cornell West Opening/Welcoming/ event (this $50 ticket includes both his UPS campus address and the reception at The Glass Museum) and they are going fast. Also, don't we want to be the first in line to support this cause? Yes! Yes! I hear you saying. Okay then, let's get going with our registration and show we're standing with Dexter and his vision in this groundbreaking endeavor.

If any Conversation Family member would like help with the financial aspect of the registration, please call or write. We want as many of us there as we can possibly get. No barriers exist to your getting there. Transportation from the campus to events downtown is also being provided.

Love, Laughter, Peace,
Rosalind
