DESCRIPTION:Author, policy analyst and activist Antonia Juhasz will be the special 
 guest at an event hosted by Peace Action of San Mateo County and San Mateo 
 County Democracy for America. Juhasz's topic is also the title of her most 
 recent book, "The Tyranny of Oil: the World's Most Powerful Industry - And 
 What We Must Do To Stop It." Copies of the book, recently re-released as a 
 paperback and updated with a new preface, will be on sale, along with her 
 previous book, "The Bu$h Agenda: Invading the World, One Economy at a 
 Time."\n\nAntonia Juhasz has been with the San Francisco-based group Global 
 Exchange since last July, as the Director of its new Chevron Program 
 focusing on the many environmental, human rights, and other crimes of the 
 ubiquitous San Ramon-based corporation - also now the world's fifth-largest 
 company. She is the lead author and editor of "The True Cost of Chevron: An 
 Alternative Annual Report", which Global Exchange and other organizations 
 released at Chevron's annual meeting last May. Among other topics, she will 
 discuss upcoming protest actions planned at Chevron's world headquarters in 
 San Ramon this coming May.\n\nIn addition to her work at Global Exchange, 
 Juhasz is on the National Advisory Board of Iraq Veterans Against the War 
 and is well-known for her work uncovering the oil industry's pursuit of the 
 Iraq Oil Law. She is also a Fellow at Oil Change International and a 
 Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies. Juhasz has also 
 worked as a legislative assistant to two members of Congress.\n\nGlobal 
 Exchange's web site describes Juhasz as "a passionate writer and speaker 
 who conveys complex information in a manner that is both accessible and 
 motivational to others."\n\nThe March 23 event is at 7:30 PM at Carpenter's 
 Hall, 1153 Chess Drive (off Foster City Boulevard) in Foster City. 
 Admission is $5-10 sliding scale, with no one turned away for lack of
