Today we observe Memorial Day, a nationwide day of reflection and remembrance of all Americans who have died in war, as well as a lasting call for permanent peace. Whatever way you choose to observe this day, we hope you remember that our entire Peace Action Maine network is working alongside you to build a world where peace and justice prevail for all.
Peace Action Maine volunteers are off-line today, but we want to be sure to highlight an important event coming up tomorrow. National Peace Action will host a "Meet the Candidates" conversation online on Tuesday, May 28th at 7:30pm ET with Representative Jamaal Bowman where he will be there to discuss his high-stakes primary race and his ongoing work in Congress to support more peaceful U.S. policy. Rep. Bowman was an early advocate for a ceasefire in Gaza, and as a result, is facing a well-funded challenge to his seat this election cycle: United Democracy Project, an AIPAC-affiliated Super PAC, has already spent $2 million on attack ads and ads promoting his challenger, moderate George Latimer. You can register and submit questions for Jamaal Bowman via this signup page.
As always, thank you for being a part of our network, and for all you do for peace!
In Peace and Solidarity,
Peace Action Maine (with many thanks to PA and PANYS leadership and messaging)
