23. PNHP to meet in Seattle 6/19; discuss how social movements effect change

This is to let you know of a special program we have planned for our PNHPWW Monthly Meeting, Wednesday, June 19th, 7PM, at Swedish/Cherry Hill Campus Conference Center Auditorium. Peter Bohmer has agreed to share his knowledge on how social movements effect change (tentative title -"Building Power from Below for Universal Health Care&quot . Peter teaches political economy as a longtime faculty member at the Evergreen State College in Olympia. He has been an organizer and participant in the struggle for social and economic justice since the 1960s. In recent years, his political activities have taken him to Venezuela, Cuba, Greece and a number of US cities - most recently, in his own backyard in supporting the workers' picket lines at Evergreen.

Continuing on from the ideas about how social change happens expressed by Andy Coates and Gerald Friedman at our Annual Public Meeting a few weeks ago, Peter's perspective from a lifetime of teaching theory and practice, and his own experience as an activist, will help us in our discussions about our assumptions and in charting our course as we move ahead with the Health Care is a Human Right campaign this summer.
