Wand To Screen Women & Peace Films
Especially if you're female, and especially if you are or ever have been a peace activist, don't miss the two inspiring films being shown Sunday, November 11. "Crossing Borders" is the story of the European and American women (including Jane Addams) whose men were on opposite sides in World War I, who carne together at an historic meeting at the Hague to stop the war. Together they founded WILPF (the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom) (1989, U.S. WILPF).
"Women of Peace" is a film of the Ann Arbor women of Women Strike for Peace, telling how it was to be part of two heady '60s successes - the signing of the Partial Test Ban Treaty prohibiting all atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons, and the successful challenge to the House Un-American Activities Committee's investigation of the women's peace movement (1989, Media Vision.) The local chapters of WILPF and WAND (Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament) are jointly sponsoring the films at 7 pm (please note the early hour), Sun., Nov. 11, at St. Aidan's / Northside Church ground floor, 1679 Broadway (across from the Baits Dr. entrance to U-M North Campus.) Accessible, free, refreshments.
For information about Campus WAND, the student group at the U-M, call Paz Salas, 764-1295. If you need a ride to St. Aidan's/Northside from campus, call Sarah Cooleybeck, 662-2475.
