Wand: Attend Martin Luther King, Jr. Events
There will be no January WAND meeting because our usual second Sunday of the month meeting date falls on Jan. 14 this year, one of the days that Martin Luther King, Jr's Birthday will be observed. Many inspiring events that are very relevant to the peace movement will be happening that evening, so we have canceled our January WAND meeting and strongly encourage you to go instead to these events.
Walk in the Unity March at 4 pm from the County Building (101 E. Huron) to Second Baptist Church (850 Red Oak) for refreshments and a Rededication Service at 5 pm or so. Later attend the keynote address given by actress and author Maya Angelou for U-M's two day commemoration of King's birthday at 7 pm, at the Power Center.
Many more events at U-M are being planned for Mon, Jan. 15 during the day and evening. The inspiring Revival, traditionally held at Bethel A.M.E. Church to commemorate Dr. King's life, will be held this year on Fri, Jan. 12 at 7 pm. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, the compelling speaker from Chicago who led the Revival last year, will lead it again. Call Church of the Good Shepherd for more information at 971-6133. Dr. King was just as important a leader of the peace movement as he was of the civil rights movement. In fact, he taught us that the two are "tied inextricably together." Join us in heeding his call: "Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter - but beautiful - struggle for a new world." On Sun, Feb. 11 several women will talk about their personal decision to commit civil disobedience or to become tax resisters. The meeting will take place at 7:30 pm at St. Aidan's Northside Church, 1679 Broadway. Call 761-1718 for more information.

Solidarity (from previous page)
We oppose the growing U.S. drive toward war. We see the need for international solidarity among working people and the oppressed in a period of concessions, deindustrialization, unemployment, and the growing debt crisis. We believe in a creative rethinking of socialism for the 90s in which an open environment and variety of views are more important than presenting a monolithic face to the world.
