Dream Bridge Report on the Global Article 9 Conference to Abolish War
Last month, Ellen Thomas of the Proposition One Committee and WPC Co-Coordinator Jay Marx attended a conference celebrating Article 9 (the Peace Plank) of the Japanese constitution, attended by over 10,000 people in Tokyo, Japan. They presented a workshop about DC's successful citizen initiative to ban nuclear weapons in 1993, and connected with peace-positive people from across the globe. Following up on the WPC-sponsored Article 9 report brunch by Japanese lawyers at Busboys last November, Jay and Ellen will review the conference, discuss ways to preserve Article 9 in Japan and promote it elsewhere, and talk about the November 15 Dream Bridge Concert to benefit Vietnamese child victims of Agent Orange. More Information: call Jay at (202)234-2000 or email wpc@igc.org.
