grassrootspeace.org

November 5, 2007: This website is an archive of the former website, traprockpeace.org, which was created 10 years ago by Charles Jenks. It became one of the most populace sites in the US, and an important resource on the antiwar movement, student activism, 'depleted' uranium and other topics. Jenks authored virtually all of its web pages and multimedia content (photographs, audio, video, and pdf files. As the author and registered owner of that site, his purpose here is to preserve an important slice of the history of the grassroots peace movement in the US over the past decade. He is maintaining this historical archive as a service to the greater peace movement, and to the many friends of Traprock Peace Center. Blogs have been consolidated and the calendar has been archived for security reasons; all other links remain the same, and virtually all blog content remains intact.

THIS SITE NO LONGER REFLECTS THE CURRENT AND ONGOING WORK OF TRAPROCK PEACE CENTER, which has reorganized its board and moved to Greenfield, Mass. To contact Traprock Peace Center, call 413-773-7427 or visit its site. Charles Jenks is posting new material to PeaceJournal.org, a multimedia blog and resource center.

George Galloway is Respect party MP for Bethnal Green
and Bow in East London.  He recently electrified the
United States with his appearance at a Senate
Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations hearing on
May 17, when he turned the proceedings into a
condemnation of the war in Iraq. CNN's Wolf Blitzer
described Galloway's speech in the Senate as "a
blistering attack on US senators rarely heard" in
Washington. His new book, out in September, is Mr.
Galloway Goes to Washington (The New Press)

Christopher Hitchens is a widely published polemicist
and frequent radio and TV commentator.  He is the
author of A Long Short War, Why Orwell Matters, The
Trial of Henry Kissinger, and many other books.
He is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair.  The
London Observer calls him "One of the most brilliant
journalists of our time."

Two years after the invasion of Iraq, Galloway and
Hitchens will debate the causes and consequences of
the war. Both will be signing books after the debate.
This debate is part of a national tour of the United
States by George Galloway, "Stand Up and Be Counted:
No to War and Occupation." The tour will culminate in
Washington, DC, during the anti-war protests on
September 24th.
