"Marx in Soho" 
Howard Zinn's play
comes to Plymouth State University

Bob Weick (of Dorchester, NH) will present this one-man show to the University Community on Tuesday, 5 March, in Boyd Hall Room 144, at 6pm.  We think you should be there!

The play (see the synopsis and reviews, here: http://www.ironagetheatre.org/marx.html is a celebration and remembrance of Marx's positions on social justice -- from the perspectives of history, civil rights, political science, economics ... there's something for everyone!  Above all, it's written by Howard Zinn, a giant in the social justice movement, recently lost to us.

Karl Marx, 1818–1883... Howard Zinn, 1922-2010. 

This is quite a pairing, in that nearly 100 years separate the life spans of these two men (and then there's Bob Weick! ;-) ) . Marx has the reputation of being opaque, difficult to understand. Zinn's reputation of course is just the opposite; his appeal was that he made that opacity seem easily accessible to the masses.

We hope to see you there!

Fifth Annual Culture of Peace Conference 
to be held March 23, 2013 
at Rivier University!  

We are very glad to support the annual conference for a culture of peace, this year being hosted by our friends and colleagues at Rivier University in Nashua, NH.  They have published a webpage that is devoted to the conference where you can find information on the schedule, registration, workshops being held, directions to arrive at Rivier University, lodgings, and other information as it develops. 

New Hampshire Peace Action is a co-sponsor and co-host of the event, and is organizing a youth overnight conference in conjunction with the conference, and we are especially gratified to see this becoming a tradition of the conference.  The energy is electric!  Contact will@nhpeaceaction.org if you are interested in learning more about this angle. 

We hope to see you there!!!
