DESCRIPTION:OccupyForum proudly presents…\nVeterans For Peace\nwith Occupy's Pirate 
 Mike\n\nPanel discussion with Q & A and film: "Battlefield of the Mind"\nAn 
 examination of veterans' homelessness and the struggle of 
 PTSD\n\nInformation, discussion & community! Monday Night Forum!!\nOccupy 
 Forum is an opportunity for open and respectful dialogue on all sides of 
 these critically important issues!\n\nAs citizens rally over the upcoming 
 ten days to send the message to the President and Congress that launching 
 cruise missiles against Syria is not an option, Veterans For Peace’s 
 Pirate Mike (Michael Clift) presents “Battlefield of the Mind” with Q&A 
 and discussion at OccupyForum.\n\nVeterans For Peace is a global 
 organization of Military Veterans and allies collectively building a 
 culture of peace by using their experiences and lifting their voices. 
 Veterans For Peace inform the public of the true causes of war and the 
 enormous costs of wars, with an obligation to heal the wounds of wars. 
 Their network is comprised of over 140 chapters worldwide whose work 
 includes educating the public, advocating for a dismantling of the war 
 economy, providing services that assist veterans and victims of war, and 
 most significantly, working to end all wars.\n\nVFP was founded in 1985 by 
 10 U.S. veterans in response to the global nuclear arms race and U.S. 
 military interventions in Central America. It grew to more than 8,000 
 members in the buildup to the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 with veteran 
 and associate members in every U.S. state and several countries, with more 
 than 120 chapters across the nation.\n\n“Battlefield of the Mind”, a 
 film called “the most powerful documentary of the decade,” is a 
 full-length documentary that tells the raw and tragic details of what life 
 is like as an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran. Many veterans suffer from post 
 traumatic stress disorder and among them are those whose lives have fallen 
 apart and have become homeless as a result.\n\nPirate Mike of Occupy San 
 Francisco and Veterans for Peace is a political activist and artist engaged 
 in Veterans’ advocacy and the research and exposure of Establishment 
 corruption. Pirate will help us understand the struggles of veterans of all 
 eras and classes, and validate the conviction that our government must be 
 restrained and war abolished as an instrument of national 
 policy.\n\noccupyveteranssanfranciso.weebly.com\n\nhttp://www.veteransforpeace.org/\n\nhttps://chill.com/fran_strine/battlefield-of-the-mind\n\nhttp://occupysf.org/\n\n\nDonations
