"Building Cultures of Peace"
6th Annual Conference of the
Peace and Justice Studies Association
in conjunction with the Peace and Conflict Studies Consortium
September 11-14, 2008
Portland State University
Portland, Oregon
~ Submit a Proposal: DEADLINE APRIL 1, 2008 ~

War is raging with no end in sight. Politics alone has not solved it. Media has not ended war. Religion does not seem to bring peace. Education alone is impotent. Families are providing cannon fodder, not enough peace builders. Economic instruments and systems seem to favor war more than peace. Law is not bringing the killing to an end. Music, painting, plays, fiction, film--the arts are justifying war more than peace.

None of these elements of our culture are oriented enough toward peace; all are crucial components of our culture. Indeed, each affects each other and each affects the outcome: will our culture tend to produce war or tend to produce peace?

Start: 19:00

Join us for a discussion of how to get the nation back to its traditional course.

"Building Cultures of Peace"
6th Annual Conference of the
Peace and Justice Studies Association
in conjunction with the Peace and Conflict Studies Consortium
September 11-14, 2008
Portland State University
Portland, Oregon
~ Submit a Proposal: DEADLINE APRIL 1, 2008 ~

War is raging with no end in sight. Politics alone has not solved it. Media has not ended war. Religion does not seem to bring peace. Education alone is impotent. Families are providing cannon fodder, not enough peace builders. Economic instruments and systems seem to favor war more than peace. Law is not bringing the killing to an end. Music, painting, plays, fiction, film--the arts are justifying war more than peace.

None of these elements of our culture are oriented enough toward peace; all are crucial components of our culture. Indeed, each affects each other and each affects the outcome: will our culture tend to produce war or tend to produce peace?

Bridging The Gap: Making It Happen
An Organizers Conference
The Troops Have the Power to Stop the War

Politicians can't be counted on to halt the bloodshed, the troops have the power to stop the war! This is an organizers conference for people who wish to act together to bridge the gap between civilians and members of the Armed Forces by direct contact. This conference is being sponsored by The Military Project, with the assistance of Traveling Soldier (www.travelingsolder.com) and GI Special (www.militaryproject.org).

Start: 19:00

Join us and please help get the word out!

Impeachment 101: How Impeachment Serves a Democracy!

Our leaders still need to be held accountable but unless the people demand it - it will never happen. When January 20, 2009 arrives all the expanded powers and abuses will be sitting there waiting for whomever is elected.

Panelists will take a historical look at our founding fathers' intent to use impeachment as a tool to curb the abuse of power in government and examine noteworthy cases in our nation’s record in which Articles of Impeachment have been filed. They will discuss the purpose of impeachment, the separation of powers, and the legal definition of impeachable acts.

Our panelists are high profile constitutional attorneys' and experts:

  • Marjorie Cohn is Professor of Law at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego, CA; and current president of the National Lawyers Guild. www.marjoriecohn.com

"Everything’s Cool” provides viable arguments from both sides of the global warming issue in a quirky and witty fashion. Unlike “An Inconvenient Truth”. “Everything’s Cool” tackles the same important topic without “Inconvenient Truth’s” scare tactics. The film is a quirky combination of cartoons and stock footage along with interviews. The filmmakers follow numerous types of people on both sides of the argument from 2003 to 2006 and document how their lives are affected by global warming. All the interviewees are quite entertaining.
