I just heard from Ted Brown of the Libertarian Party of
California. He said that everyone is welcome to march
with us in the Doo Dah Parade, but please don't wear or
carry things that mention other political parties. Here's
the meeting time and place:
Sunday, Nov. 20, by 10:30 a.m. at the latest, in
Memorial Park, on Raymond and Walnut, in Pasadena.
Look for Libertarian stuff, like signs similar to the ones we
carried last time.

which we work with in our community.
Books Not Bombs. BNB collects and redistrubutes reading
material, preferably progressive and historical writings,
and offers them to the community at no cost. BNB looks to
collect, among others, childrens books to be distrubuted to
Las Palmas Elememtary School, located across from the

#7 Every Sunday evening in Huntington Beach:
"Peace vigil every Sunday night at the foot of the
Huntington Beach Pier, 7-8 pm
We are a small group of people who believe in
non-violence both physically and in our thoughts.
We stand at the pier with a sign that says:"Visualize
World Peace. It's up to you". We want people to
start believing that it is possible to have a world at
peace, even if it's hard for most people to even
imagine it. We will discuss peace and non-violence
in a spirit of dignity and respect with anyone who
is rational and smile quietly at those who aren't.
With all the violence in our world, we seek to
encourage people to look at the alternative - to seek
peace in their hearts and in our world.
