Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

The City Council of Santa Cruz in California has unanimously voted against the Bush administration plans to invade Iraq. It is believed to be the first such vote in the country. The resolution accused the administration of “waging a propaganda campaign to justify an invasion without reaching an international consensus in support of U.S. military action.”

Across the country opponents to Iraq war have been visiting the offices of their elected officials demanding to have public meetings on the war. We’ll talk to an activist from the Boston area who visited Senator Kennedy and Kerry’s offices earlier this week.

Guests:

  • Tim Fitzmaurice, City Councilor from Santa Cruz.
  • Pat McSweeney, retired English teacher in Taunton, Massachusetts. She is active in Pax Christi.
