DESCRIPTION:Invitation to US Labor Against the War Fundraiser on Sunday, March 5 in San 
 Francisco\nDear Sisters and Brothers,\nWe hope you will be able to join us 
 at a special gathering to raise funds for U.S. Labor Against the War 
 (USLAW) at the home of Lita Blanc and Alan Benjamin on:\nSunday, March 5 
 from 2:30 pm to 5 pm\n@ 4089 25th Street (between Noe and Sanchez Sts.) in 
 San Francisco\nThe fundraiser will feature three Special Guests:\nv Michael 
 Eisenscher, National Coordinator Emeritus, USLAW\nv Julienne Fisher, UFCW 5 
 Delegate to SF Labor Council and Renounce War Projects v Max Elbaum, 
 Longtime antiwar activist, Marathoner for Peace\nv ALSO: Music by Francisco 
 Herrera\nU.S. Labor Against the War is a national organization of unions 
 and other labor organizations founded in January of 2003 to oppose 
 President George W. Bush’s then threatened war on Iraq. In more than a 
 decade since its founding, USLAW has organized a network of more than 165 
 unions, labor councils, state labor federations, allied labor organizations 
 and labor antiwar committees.\nUSLAW is internationally recognized for its 
 solidarity work in support of Iraqi unions. In 2005, it led the campaign to 
 get the AFL-CIO to come out against the Iraq war.\nUSLAW is committed to 
 the struggle to demilitarize U.S. foreign policy and break the country's 
 dependency on militarism and fossil fuels so that it can develop an 
 environmentally, economically and socially sustainable and just economy 
 that serves the working class majority, not just the privileged few.\nUSLAW 
 is funded almost exclusively through affiliation fees paid by its 
 affiliates, individual memberships and donations from its supporters. It 
 receives no funds from the government or corporations. Your personal 
 support is greatly needed . . . and appreciated.\nWith the election of 
 Donald Trump, USLAW is needed more than ever to stay the hand of the 
 war-makers and to redirect military spending into social spending to 
 provide for the basic needs of the people. We need a vibrant anti-war 
 movement to push this change and for organized labor to play a vital role 
 in it. We need to continue to actively support USLAW and support 
 international solidarity.\nPlease RSVP to  to let us know if you can 
 attend. If you are not able to make it to the fundraiser, we urge you to 
 make your donation with a credit card on the following USLAW website 
 fundraising page: http://bit.ly/Mar5SFDonor.\nIf you prefer to make a 
 contribution by check (or want to claim a tax deduction for your donation), 
 make your check payable to USLAW (or USLAW-AFGJ for tax deduction) and send 
 it to 1718 M Street, NW #153, Washington, DC 20036. Please mark “March 5 
 SF Fundraiser” on the Memo line of your check.\nWe thank you in advance 
 for your support of USLAW, and we hope to hear back from you soon,\nIn 
 solidarity,\nLita Blanc, President, United Educators of San Francisco 
 (UESF) Allan Fisher, Past President, AFT 2121 Rodger Scott, Past President
