“Olive Branch” Extra Virgin Olive Oil is raised without pesticides or sprays and First-Cold-Pressed. This year we are importing the oil directly from the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC), a non-governmental, non-profit organization in Ramallah which has been on the forefront of supporting Palestinian agriculture since the 1980’s. PARC buys its olive oil from 85 different small farmer cooperatives in the West Bank. It takes care of testing, quality control, bottling, labeling and marketing. Available in 750ml bottles, by the case (12 bottles), or more. Now more than ever, important to Palestinian farmers. For ordering and other info, please email us at palestinebostonoliveoil@yahoo.com or call Susie at 781-648-6307.
"Support Our Troops: End the War in Iraq!"
Maureen Hearn is a nurse and Michael a professor/researcher. They live in Needham and are members of Military Families Speak Out (MFSO). Their daughter, a first lieutenant in the Army, is currently stationed in Iraq with an engineering battalion on reconstruction projects.
MFSO is an organization of people, opposed to the war, who have relatives or loved ones in the military. Formed by two families in November of 2002, it now consists of some 3000 military families in the U.S. and around the world.
In March, MFSO members were involved in communities across the country commemorating the third anniversary of the war in Iraq. They joined in these actions with Gold Star Families for Peace, Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans against the War, United for Peace & Justice, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows and others. Many of these events focused attention on Senators and members of Congress, who are still failing to lead by bringing our troops home now and taking care of them when they get here!

"An Inconvenient Truth," featuring former Vice President Al Gore, is the most significant attempt to date to clearly communicate to all Americans the dangers that we face if we do not meet the reality of global warming.
For current news about global warming, and to learn additional things you can do to help this and other campaigns, visit the Climate Crisis Coalition home page (climatecrisis.net).
"An Inconvenient Truth" has been hailed by critics: Claudia Pauig of USA Today as "illuminating, fascinating and sometimes frightening," A.O. Scott of the New York Times as "intellectually exhilarating...a necessary film," and Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times as "rousing."
The Greater Boston Stop the Wars Coalition invites you to a Strategy Session for anti-war organizing in the Boston area. The event will be held on June 4th at Encuentro Cinco, 33 Harrison Avenue, 5th floor, in Boston (Chinatown) and will go from 12:00 noon until 6:00 PM.
This strategy session is open to all who are interested. We are seeking to bring together a diverse group of participants with a wide array of views to consider the current state and future of the antiwar movement and how we can advance forward.
The format of June 4th is still being worked out and we appreciate any input that you may wish to provide. Although this event is being organized by the Greater Boston Stop the Wars Coalition, we hope that participation in organizing and attending this event will come from social justice activists in different sectors of the movement and from different communities.
Please contact us if you anticipate attending the Strategy Session or have questions and comments. If there are other individuals or groups that you feel should be invited, please spread the word. If you would like to become involved in organizing this event let us know and we can add you to our email list.
