June 5, 2022 Monday 6/6 in-person/virtual discussion with Indivisible Albuquerque: nuclear weapons, Ukraine, propaganda, and what we can do; yard signs available; LASG coffee Wednesday 6/8 8:30 am Permalink for this letter. Please forward. Prior letters to this New-Mexico-oriented list. Dear friends and colleagues -- We -- Trish and Greg -- have recently returned from family visits and have been furiously catching up these past few days. The event tomorrow Indivisible Albuquerque, a Democratic-Party-affiliated group, has asked Greg to speak on nuclear weapons, Ukraine, and what we all might do to help. They have kindly opened their meeting tomorrow to any of you who would like to attend, either in-person or virtually. The talk and discussion will be at O'Neill's Pub (4310 Central SE, just W of Washington St., map) at about 6:00 pm (video link here). Some background for the Ukraine part of the discussion was provided in our May 10 letter. A lot has happened since then of course, some of which we will discuss tomorrow (and in other meetings this month). Some of the new developments regarding plutonium warhead core ("pit") production were summarized in this May 10 letter to selected congressional staff. This should be a very interesting discussion. We hope you can attend one way or another! Yard signs We have finally gotten around to printing a new yard sign for our home and office:
As you can see it is similar to our antiwar billboard in Bernalillo (photo). This yard sign is 30" x 48" and is made of rugged heavy vinyl with grommets in the corners enabling it to be strung between, say, two metal fenceposts. If you want one we will ask our local printer to print one for you! Last year they cost $60 each. The posts cost ~$6 each at a hardware, home, or farm store. We also have a handy tool for pounding them in and perhaps (a) volunteer(s) will appear to do that. We have one additional order so far. We'd love to have ten, or a hundred! You could also design and print your own sign. The point is: speak up in whatever way feels best to you, and do it publicly please. Open house On Wednesday morning at 8:30 am the Study Group will be serving coffee, tea and of course lovely water, from 8:30 am to 10:30 am or so, to anyone who would like to visit. There's a lot to talk about these days and it is not happening in enough places! Also, we are meeting new people and we'd love to have a scheduled opportunity to meet some of you in a more relaxed setting. If this proves valuable we will do it again the following Wednesday, and so on. At the moment we have a surfeit of organic kale from the backyard garden and will be harvesting more on Wednesday morning, so we should have some to give away! Please help us eat it up! Greg and Trish, for the Study Group |
