OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEACEMAKING FORUM

Quaker Meetinghouse
16th and Hemlock Streets.
Please mark your calendars for a public event at Chico Friends Meetinghouse on Sunday, September 18th, 1:00-3:00PM. The Opportunities for Peacemaking Forum features brief presentations from the Chico Legislative Advocacy Team (Loree Monroe), Chico Peace Alliance (Laurel Yorks), and liaisons from Friends Committee on National Legislation* (Tom Head) and the Friends Committee on Legislation of California (Claudia Hanson).
The broader Chico community is invited to hear about these opportunities for participating in or supporting peacemaking at the local, state and national level. There will be tables with information about these featured groups and materials for sending letters or postcards to our state and national legislators on select issues. Hope to see you there!
