DESCRIPTION:The Peace Action agenda is filling up fast for both the national office and 
 affiliates from coast to coast. With developing news on Iran's nuclear 
 program, joint talks coming up with Iran and North Korea, new troop 
 requests for Afghanistan and new initiatives on nuclear disarmament, the 
 ground seems to shift beneath our feet. In the spirit of keeping on top of 
 events and assessing how best to act, on October 27 Peace Action of San 
 Mateo County will host a talk with Peace Action West Political Director 
 Rebecca Griffin. The talk will take place at 7 PM in Beck Hall of the 
 Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo, 300 E. Santa Inez (at Ellsworth) in 
 San Mateo.\n\nWe don't know exactly what the evening will look or sound 
 like, but we plan to focus on what is relevant to working for peace and 
 what we all can do to achieve the best results. As PAW's Political 
 Director, Rebecca has her ear to the ground on what is important. She is 
 currently heading up a campaign to "Get Afghanistan Right," as well as to 
 promote the best diplomatic solutions with Iran. She traveled there in May 
 with the Fellowship of Reconciliation and developed a number of insights. 
 Her blogs on Iran, Afghanistan and other Peace Action-related subjects can 
 be found by logging on to www.peaceactionwest.org and clicking the link to 
 "Groundswell," the Peace Action West blog.\n\nPeace Action West was 
 formerly called California Peace Action, but it expanded its outreach to 
 other western states. With a greater reach comes a greater responsibility 
 to get our message out. That is where Rebecca often comes in, traveling and 
 organizing with community leaders and citizens, meeting with members of 
 Congress, and educating candidates about pragmatic and peaceful solutions 
 to our greatest foreign policy challenges. On October 27 she will share 
 some of her insights with us on vital issues of the moment.\n\nAdmission is 
 free, light refreshments as always will be on hand. The Unitarian 
 Universalists is wheelchair accessible.\n
