	Here is a reminder of this weekend's Chicago-based Peace Action
activity.

	Peace Action will be holding its National Congress this weekend in
Chicago at the John Marshall Law School (July 27th -28th). Key note
Speaker Rep. Dennis Kucinich will promote his plans to create a Department
of the Peace and to preserve space for peaceful researsh purposes and not
for offensive weaponry.
	For more info go to www.peace-action.org. To reserve your space
ahead of time call (312) 566-9780.

	More importantly, Illinois Peace Action will be holding a
demonstration outside of the Boeing World Headquarters on Friday July
26th at 5pm. Hundreds are expected to attend for the purpose of making it
clear that many are upset that municipal tax dollars are
being spent on housing Boeing in the Nation's largest declared Nuclear
Weapons free zone. Makers of "Smart Bombs" that go off unexpectedly, and
the lead contractor on Star Wars, Boeing is the #2 War profiteer in the
U.S. They are also the #1 exporter of arms, and have had their logo on
both sides of several bloody disputes.

	That's Fri July 26th, 5pm.

	The Boeing World Headquarters is located at 150 N. Riverside. That
is Randolph and the West Bank of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago.



thanks again,
	Matt Reichel
