Hi Friends. On the heels of this exciting election season, the Fellowship of Reconciliation in partnership with the Not Your Soldier project is about launch the Drop Beats Not Bombs tour! The tour's purpose is to support military resistance through creative action, which we're going to need regardless of who's in office. The tour features Paula Galeano, a Conscientious Objector from Colombia, and Detroit based artist Invincible, who resists through amazing political hip hop. FOR & Not Your Soldier staff will lead workshops on Conscientious Objection and Art and Action, and will reach out to local organizers to connect & resource resistance to militarism through the Not Your Soldier project.
We'll be in MN for a few days before headed to the east coast, and would love to see you either Tuesday night at the Blue Nile or at the Hamline workshops, show, or panel on Wed and Thursday! Please see more details about these events below.
Finally, if you can't be involved but want to support FOR's work, please consider making a financial contribution to help cover our costs. Click to donate now.
Thanks for all of your support!!
Peace, Maryrose Dolezal, Fellowship of Reconciliation
