As the reactionary, racist, and militaristic Trump administration seeks to hold on to power by any means necessary, we will gather to discuss our plans and to celebrate those who have made a difference for peace and justice in the political arena — this year and over the long term.
We’ll present the 2020 Peace Leadership Award to author Stephen Kinzer, and hear his thoughts on the possibility for a change in foreign policy under a Biden administration. Read Kinzer’s August 7 Boston Globe column, “On the ballot: An end to forever wars“.
We’ll enjoy music by Zama, and auction off cool stuff like peace movement memorabilia and autographed copies of books on peace issues. Rev. Vernon K. Walker will be the MC.
We will present Peacebuilder Awards to individuals and organizations whose leadership and determination has made a difference to the movement for peace and justice, in the past year and over the long run. This year’s awardees are:
– Senator Ed Markey
– State Rep. Denise Provost
– State Rep. Jon Hecht
– Mahtowin Munro, United American Indians of New England (UAINE)
– Kevin Peterson, The New Democracy Coalition
– Vaughn Goodwin, 1199SEIU and the Massachusetts Poor People’s Campaign
– Gladys Vega, Chelsea Collaborative
As we work to increase the pro-peace contingent in Congress and the State House, Massachusetts Peace Action has increased our activity in political campaigns this year. Funds raised will support Massachusetts Peace Action and may be used for political purposes. (Or, you can make a tax-deductible donation to the Massachusetts Peace Action Education Fund.)
