Dear
Catholic Workers and friends,
If you ask
us about Chicago spring we predict it will be memorable for the
summery weather, and memorable for the change that is happening! We
celebrate G8 leaving as a victory of the movement, based on their
decision to move their location to a more ‘secure’ location.
There are signs of hope and blossoming all about us, but there may be
some unpredictable weather on the way there.
And so we
prepare. As they say, blessed are
the peacemakers for they will never be unemployed….Here in Chicago
the Catholic Workers are part of a movement to bring as many
nonviolence trainings as possible to groups of activists
participating in the May events leading up to the NATO summit. We
want to encourage workers across the country to train their
communities in nonviolence. There are many organizations that want
to provide trainers, suggested practices or texts.
Contact Marie at the White Rose for more info. There are a lot of
people coming to Chicago in May and this is a wonderful opportunity
to spread lifestyles grounded in love and nonviolence.
We will
kick off “A Week without Capitalism” here in Chicago on Monday,
May 14 with our action, in preparation for a new way; and we continue
with Catholic workers everywhere on Saturday, May 19-Monday, May 21
in protest and rejection of the old way. Each community is invited
to participate in this patchwork quilt of responses to the systemic
injustice and institutional violence of NATO-G8, according to what is
appropriate in your neighborhood and what you are capable of doing.
See the flier included here or
contact Regina for more info.
We
have a full schedule lined up- lots to clarify, celebrate and prepare
for- the emerging new creation of a kin-dom of love, for example!
We’re excited to have you all join us here in Chicago! Keep
the RSVPs coming…773-856-0315 or 2012resistanceretreat@gmail.com.
Abundant
peace,
White
