EVENT: New York City—The U.S. and the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons forum

Catch me if you can ---

On Wednesday, March 17th, at 10 p.m.,  I will be on WBAI on Gary Byrd's radio show, 99.5 fm. I will discuss the global effort to abolish nuclear weapons, and focus on Africa's goal to be a nuclear weapons free continent, a goal stymied by a U. S. military base on Diego Garcia, an island in the African Union.  

On Thursday, March 18th at 2 p.m.,I will be on WBAI, on Louis Reyes Rivera's show, discussing the same subject

On Saturday, March 27th at 6 p.m., I will discuss the plight of Diego Garcia on television, channel 34,  Ancestor House.

Catch me if you can -- but above all attend our forum on  The U.S. and the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons, Sunday March 29th, 1 to 4:30 p.m., at the Riverside Church. 120th St. & Claremont Ave.  

Peace and love
