Hello Peace Bit folk… I don’t know exactly how to navigate wordpress for putting forth the following message. If you’d rather get today’s Peace Bit by email, just let me know and I will be most happy to send it to you directly! KathleenTempleTailor@gmail.com
The war lobbyists invite our legislators to cocktail parties🍸. But we peace “lobbyists” -advocates, really- we can do better than THAT, can’t we? 🌟
Let’s invite our legislators all around the world (and their staff) to meet, virtually, Israeli Conscientious Objector Yuval Dag. How often to any of us get a chance to meet an Israeli C.O.?
All of us Peace Bit folk are also invited, for that matter!
I am pasting here the invitation I received via email from the Fellowship of Reconciliation, one of the oldest of our peace organizations.
| FOR-USA Chapters, IFOR Branches, and Religious Peace Fellowships |
Date: May 23 2024 Time: 1:00pm Eastern Time (11am PT)Location: Zoom Join us for an important conversation with Yuval Dag, a courageous Israeli activist who refused military conscription and faced imprisonment for his beliefs. Raised with a nationalist identity, Yuval’s journey led him to question his privilege and the oppression of Palestinians. He’ll share his insights on resistance, self-reflection, and the moral implications of military service. Hosted by Ariel Gold of Fellowship of Reconciliation and Diana Oestrich of Red Letter Christians, this event promises to be a thought-provoking dialogue on conscientious objection and solidarity. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Yuval and engage in meaningful discussion. |

To share the invitation with your legislators could be a mite tricky because it is at times difficult to get images and links to work within the webforms most legislators provide for communications from us constituents. For my own part, I plan to put as much of the info into the email (online) webforms as possible THEN PHONE each legislator’s office to talk about Yuval Dag and the event with the phone-answerers. That process should get the info through! I hope you’ll join me in inviting YOUR legislators and their staff to attend the Fellowship of Reconciliation zoom event! The time slot will be difficult for some who live far from the longitude where the event will be held. Go ahead and register even if the timing is less than convenient for you; you’ll be able to experience the recording that way. “See” you on May 23? ❤️ – Kathleen Thank you for inviting your friends to receive Peace Bit prompts! Invite more, will you? Just share the following image: |
