[Stuart Levy via Peace-discuss]

AWARE is still meeting at Pizza M / Cafeteria and Company on Main St. in 
downtown Urbana, roughly 5pm Sundays.   Come by if you'd like to chat, 
drink beer or tea, eat pizza, etc. with us.


And, at 7pm next Monday, there'll be another United for Peace and 
Justice conference call, this time on ...

*The US "Asia-Pacific Pivot" and the Struggle for US-China Peace and 
Solidarity*

/While the United States continues to intervene militarily and to engage 
in covert actions in a growing list of places across the Middle East, 
Africa and Eastern Europe//,/it is also increasing its military might in 
East Asia, pushing Japan to replace its self-defense forces with a 
regular military, and pushing other South East Asia nations to undertake 
military build ups. These actions increase the potential for a new era 
of conflict between the US and China and the US and Russia.

Lee Siu Hin, a long-time member of UFPJ's Coordinating Committee, has 
been working in the US and China for the past several years as a 
bi-national solidarity activist. He is recently back in the US, and will 
talk about his work in China, his observations about China and 
Chinese-US relations and the views of the Chinese people. This call will 
consider how US activists can build bi-national solidarity with Chinese 
and Asian people.
