I am writing to invite your young members and friends to apply for the Think Outside the Bomb National Conference to take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico this August 13-16. For five years, Think Outside the Bomb has brought young people together to share resources, strategize collaboratively, and build a widespread movement for nuclear disarmament. More than simply educating students on nuclear issues, we aim to engage every single participant intellectually, emotionally, and personally. We seek to give each participant not only the inspiration to work for a nuclear-free future for the coming year, but the tools and skills to do that work and the opportunity and camaraderie to start this organizing. | |||||

In an effort to build international solidarity with the Palestinian people, the Viva Palestina humanitarian aid convoy succeeded in breaking the siege of Gaza. Over 90% of those killed from Israel’s recent invasion of Gaza were civilians, and the ongoing blockade is preventing basic necessities such as medical supplies and food from entering Gaza. At the same time, Palestinians in the West Bank also continue to suffer daily from the brutal Israeli occupation, which is supported by billions of US taxpayer dollars every year. | |||||

FIXER: THE TAKING OF AJMAL NAQSHBANDI begins with the relationship between Naqshbandi, a young Afghan journalist, translator and coordinator, and one of his clients, Christian Parenti, an American journalist (and one of the film's producers). Over the course of six months, their paths converge, and then separate. Naqshbandi is subsequently kidnapped by Taliban forces, along with Italian reporter Daniele Mastrogiacomo and Afghan driver Sayed Agha, who is immediately beheaded. As foreign powers increase pressure to bring a fast resolution to the kidnapping, the Afghan government bungles its response, leaving Naqshbandi's family with mounting frustration. The Taliban release Mastrogiacomo after weeks in captivity, but Naqshbandi is later killed. | |||||

Presented by: Honduran delegation led by Dr. Juan Almendares
[Note: UJP is asking people to attend this meeting and to raise questions to Rep. Markey, to question the hyper-activity around Iran's nuclear program - ignoring the fact that Israel already has nuclear weapons, and Iran doesn't, and is not currently developing nuclear weapons. The focus on Iran is a diversionary tactic to divert our attention away from the plight of the Palestinians - this is part of the propaganda campaign of the Israeli government. We need to keep the focus on the oppression of the Palestinians, the evictions, the demolition of their houses, the ongoing building of settlements, the situation in Gaza. - Ed.]
