Whitefeather Peace Community
Whitefeather Peace Community was founded in Portland, Oregon in 2005 in the spirit of nonviolence, in the spirit of Dorothy Day, in the spirit of Larry Cloud Morgan—Whitefeather of the Ojibwe—and in the spirit of resistance to war, militarism and injustice. We are a vegetarian, non-smoking, alcohol-free activist community. When possible, we open our doors and offer overnight hospitality to traveling nonviolent resisters. We offer Roundtables in the Catholic Worker tradition—a meal followed by focused discussion. We help organize nonviolent resistance to war, injustice and militarism. We are hoping for your involvement.
Please join the planning and preparation for a major Peace Conference to be held at Portland State University from September 11-13, 2008. See below for more information or contact Whitefeather Peace Community: pcwtom@gmail.com

Please Note: During most of August and the beginning of September, we will be focusing on the "Building Cultures of Peace" conference to be held September 11-13 at Portland State University. It begins with a public Rally on Thursday afternoon at the South Park Blocks at PSU to TAKE BACK 9.11 FOR NONVIOLENCE.
More information is available at the website of the hosting organization, the Peace and Justice Studies Association: Conference information . If you are low income or a student, you can get in free by volunteering at the conference for 12 hours, and we could really use your help! Please go to the Volunteer Sign-Up page. If you have difficulties with that process or any questions at all, please contact Rhoda at PJSAconference2008@gmail.com.
