Last week, ETS! published its usual two-week activist calendar, which is still available in Vol. 6 #1 or at our web site, www.eatthestate.org. This calendar is devoted specifically to events, planned as of Sunday, Sep. 16, related to the terrorist attack and U.S. response.

Firstly, the ad-hoc Seattle Peace Coalition's website is now online (with minimal content): http://www.scn.org/911peace/.

ONGOING:

An ad hoc coalition, involving numerous peace and social justice groups and individuals, is forming rapidly to call for a measured U.S. response to last week's terrorist attacks. It is discussing helping to mobilize for Saturday's Afghan-organized rally, and possibly planning a major public rally Sept. 29, to coincide with the large protest in Washington, DC that has been transformed from an anti-World Bank/I.M.F. direct action to a peace vigil and rally. For more information, contact Fred Miller at Washington Peace Action, 206-523-8050, or the voice mail at Eat the State!, 206-903-9461.

For an excellent and much, much longer compilation of upcoming and ongoing progressive events in Seattle, check out Jean Buskin's Peace Calendar: http://www.scn.org/activism/calendar/ or e-mail her at bb369@scn.org.
