The IDF is a pioneering campus ministry with the mission of peace with
social justice. In addition to staff-organized events, the IDF offers
several programs including the Common Ground Food Cooperative, the
Progressive Resource/Action Cooperative (PRC), the Activist Forum,
Uprising and the Women’s Direct Action Collective. Since its inception in
1905 the IDF has been at the forefront of many peace with justice
struggles including the civil rights movement, the struggle against the
Vietnam War, the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment, and the Sanctuary
movement.

Bill Davis, the keynote speaker, has a long history of both labor and
anti-war organizing. He is a national coordinator of Vietnam Veterans
Against the War (VVAW), a national organization started in 1967 to fight
for peace, justice, and the rights of all veterans. Davis is also the
president of Auto Mechanics Union Local 701. He has been a member of Local
701 since 1977. He also is a representative for Local 701 for the Chicago
Federation of Labor.

The all-vegan menu will feature creamy pasta with winter squash, zucchini,
potato and pepper tiella, chilled green bean salad, tomato basil cream
soup with rice. Dessert will also be served and will include apple crisp.
During the dinner, Triskelion will provide background music. Triskelion, a
trio of traditional Irish musicians, includes Lisa Boucher on fiddle, Dean
Karres on tin whistle and bodhran, and Dan Niven on bouzouki, guitar, and
banjo.

Dinner tickets are $8-15 on a sliding scale. Raffle tickets are $1 each or
6 for $5. Tickets are available at the IDF office, which is open Monday
through Friday from 12noon to 5pm, and at the door. We would greatly
appreciate tickets to be purchased or reserved in advance. The money
raised at this event will go to the Illinois Disciples Foundation to
further our peace with justice mission.
