2012 Greetings!
Hope and awareness to carry on from last year!
New in our lexicon: Occupy and 99%
Never before has the middle class realized it has more in common with the poor than now, more in contrast with the 1%.
Never before have the banks closed ( our San Jose B of A, too) when Occupy people came!
First the media ignored, then it ridiculed, now it´s in the news daily. And on the Daily Show! And will inform the elections and more!
A busy year for odw!
Lots of potlucks and international handcraft sales

We´ll be doing another tour to southern CA in March thanks to a WILPF mini-grant to help with gas: Update on Burma, or Cuba or Honduras.
We´re off with our group to Burma next week! And are taking our grand kids with us!!!
