Dear Friends of Citizens for Peace & Justice,

Please join us at 1 pm this Saturday, April 5th, at the Rogue Valley Mall in the parking lot north of the Shell station off Crater Lake Highway. We'll gather for the reading of the names of Oregonians who have died in Iraq and Afghanistand and a song or two each by Beth Baker and Pete Herzog. Then we'll walk around the perimeter of the mall property with our signs and our chants.

Join displaced workers from Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford and elsewhere to discuss the negative impacts that free trade agreements like NAFTA are having on southern Oregon communities -- and what we can do together to finally put an end to destructive trade policies once-and-for-all.

This town hall is an opportunity for the community to come together and examine how free trade agreements are eliminating Oregon jobs and otherwise harming the region. It is also a chance to work together for fair trade policies that reflect the values of our state.
