Friends,
 FOR's Mark Johnson will be giving the keynote presentation at the ninth annual West Suburban Faith-Based Peace Coalition gathering this March.
Mark has visited and talked with individuals involved in Occupy events in New York, Washington D.C., Nashville, Memphis, Oakland, San Francisco, and Chicago. He has just returned from a visit to Cairo and Jerusalem, and he is working to support local organizing around the NATO/G8 meetings in Chicago in May. He will be speaking to the broadest issues of "occupying" or "liberating" civil society and citizenship.
This event is free and open to the public. Please mark your calendar!
