The event is free and sponsored by the Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice, which operates on your generous DONATIONS.

Ann Wright is a retired U.S. Army colonel and retired official of the U.S. State Department, who publicly resigned the day the United States invaded Iraq.

A committee of CCPJ is planning events for late July aimed at opposing a U.S. attack on Iran, part of a national effort. These events will likely include a presence at the July 18th Fridays After Five at the Downtown Mall, which will include huge puppets on stilts, posters, stickers, and tables with petitions on clipboards. The 18th is a national day of similar events. We may also be promoting a forum with speakers on July 21st. And a separate committee is working to reserve busses so that we can all demonstrate in Washington, D.C., and/or Virginia Beach on August 2nd, a national day of action. We then hope to present a resolution to the Charlottesville City Council on August 4th, and it is in support of that resolution that we will begin collecting signatures on July 18th. A draft of the resolution is pasted below for your comments and suggestions. » read more »

TWO CCPJ SALONS WERE HELD IN FALL 2007. In October the topic was “War Profiteering: The Impact on You.” We showed Robert Greenwald’s film Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers, which is available through the CCPJ film library. As we all subsequently saw in the news, Blackwater (one of the companies including Titan, CACI, Halliburton, and KBR, that have amassed huge sums of money from no-bid and cost plus government contracts), is suspected of violating
the Geneva Conventions regarding treatment of civilians during a war, resulting in the deaths
of innocent Iraqi citizens. It appears at present, that they may never be held accountable. » read more »
