hi folks:
 
preparations for the national communist party convention in chicago make it necessary that i will not be at the green-rainbow convention on neither day. my regrets.
 
also, concerning the sunday workshop " the failure of the peace movement": a more accurate title might be " the CURRENT STATE  of the peace and JUSTICE movement".

Jim,
Here is the timeline that was decided amongst you, me and Lisa. The two workshops you are referring to are scheduled for Saturday, 1:30 to 3:20.  THE CORRECT TITLES ARE :    
ADDRESSING RACE AND CLASS BIAS IN THE PARTY    
AND     
RIGHTS-BASED ORGANIZING:  ESTABLISHING DEMOCRACY IN MASSACHUSETTS.  This timeline IS WHAT should be posted on the website and to go into the packets you are making up.  Jon okayed this timeline and I did send it to you.
 
With so many revisions to the timeline, it can get very confusing. I did not include anything in the timeline for childcare so maybe that needs to be ironed out. Maybe, just go along with what you think.
