Last chance to stop Cuomo tax TODAY; Speakout tomorrow; and more
Dear Friends,
We are still trying to come to grips with the past week!
The wonderful was apparent in our dinner with Speaker Aly Wane, and the
Thousand strong Humanity over Oppression, Peace & Unity rally in Niagara
Square on Sunday. Thanks to the many of you who came out! But the terrible
is evidenced by the election of a man who has shown himself to lack
integrity, and who frequently disrespects and even attacks people, is of
grave concern. We need to take action to ensure a healthy and just
direction for our country!
Please get actively involved!! It is our courageous stand that will make
all the difference!!
Crisis=Opportunity; and as Rev. King said, unarmed truth and unconditional
love will have the final word in reality. So, we shall overcome!!
Many Thanks, Peace, and yes Love to You All!
