Pacifism Conference in Tübingen

The Tübingen Progressive Americans will have an info-stand at the Pazifismus-Tage in Tübingen this coming weekend. Stop by and meet us!

New Project: Aguayo Defense Fund

We had a long meeting last Sunday night where we exchanged impressions of the evening with Bill Evers and talked about our future plans.

We have decided that our next big project will be a party/dance to raise money for the legal fund of conscientious objector Constantine Aguayo. You can read all about his case at his webpage. The party will be in Tübingen at a yet-to-be arranged location on the evening of Saturday, 17 February, 2007. Admission will be charged, food and drinks will be sold, and we are considering offering a silent auction as well. Several of our members have been involved with the Aguayo family and the Aguayo case for some time. He will need $6,000 to cover his legal fees, and we have decided help him raise it.

We also discussed a more abstract project for the spring and summer of next year, a series of discussion evenings which will continue alongside our activism. The idea goes back to proposal by one of our members. Our members or, possibly, invited experts, will introduce and lead discussion on a topic of interest or expertise. A schedule will be published over the next several months.
