On October 6, the CSRA Peace Alliance will mark the beginning of the 11th year of the war in Afghanistan with an event at the Augusta Commons at 836 Reynolds St from 6 pm – 9 pm.
We will use the stump and soap box and want folks to share their thoughts with us (the public) on the anniversary of our war in Afghanistan. For so many reasons we want to end war and promote peace in our own country.
Contact Denice Traina by phone or text at (706) 951-2413 to get on the list of speakers and performance artists or to see how you can help with the organization. There is always a need for people to help with logistics.

We now have dates and a location for The CSRA Class of Non-Violence.
We’ve reserved Study Room C at the Headquarters Library at 823 Telfair St, Augusta, GA, 30901. Each class begins at 6:30 pm and ends at 8:30 pm on the first and third Tuesdays of June, July, August and September. Study Room C is on the 2nd floor, behind the Reference Desk.
There is no attendance requirement, so even if you can only make one session, you’re welcome to come. Reading the suggested readings for each lesson is recommended but not mandatory.
RSVPs are recommended but not mandatory. There is limited space, and if it becomes necessary, we’d need to look for an alternate venue. RSVP requires creation of a free account at Meetup.com.
If you would like to facilitate one or more of these sessions, please e-mail Ayman Fadel or text him at (706) 284-3002.
