DESCRIPTION:SOLANO PEACE AND JUSTICE COALITION HOSTS \nFORUM ON THE SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACK 
 AND ITS AFTERMATH\n\n\nWHO:		Solano Peace and Justice Coalition (SPJC)\nA 
 grassroots group of Solano County residents working to educate the local 
 community about the history of our involvement in the Middle East, 
 alternative responses to war, and the importance of defending civil 
 liberties at home during this period of crisis.  \n\nWHAT:	Forum on the 
 historical and cultural context of events leading to the September 11 
 attack and its aftermath. Keynote speaker Kevin Danaher, co-founder of the 
 international human rights organization Global Exchange, will be joined by 
 Farhad Azhad, Publisher of Afghan Magazine; a representative from Veterans 
 for Peace; and other speakers to be announced.\n\nWHEN: 	12-3 p.m.

 talking to people about how a renewed commitment to social justice and 
 human rights are essential for eliminating terrorism. Danaher explains how 
 the US must work harder than ever with other countries to reduce poverty 
 and inequality if we want the cooperation of the worldís people in ending 
 terrorism. Described by The New York Times as the "Paul Revere of 
 globalizationís woes," Danaherís analytical expertise, sense of humor and 
 blunt eloquence make him an exceptionally dynamic speaker.\n\n	Mr. Danaher 
 has written and edited many books dealing with US foreign policy and the 
 global economy.  His most recent volume, Democratizing the Global Economy, 
 came out after April, 2000 protests against the IMF and World Bank. Mr. 
 Danaherís other books include Corporations are Gonna Get Your Mama: 
 Globalization and the Downsizing of the American Dream and 50 Years is 
 Enough: The Case Against the World Bank and the IMF.\n\nOther speakers will 
 contribute a range of cultural and historical perspectives intended to 
 broaden public understanding of the economic and political policies that 
 have brought us to violent conflict.\n\nThe Solano Peace and Justice 
 Coalition holds weekly meetings from 7 to 9 p.m. at the First Christian 
 Church, 1035 Indiana Street, Vallejo. The meeting provides an opportunity 
 for concerned Solano County residents to discuss the September 11 attacks 
 and ensuing aftermath, as well as to plan local efforts to engage the 
 community in working for peace.\n\nSPJC advocates the following six
