Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Mon, 05/05/2008 - 3:25pm.I sincerely hope for a an event tonight that is well-attended by the full spectrum of the community, from law enforcement and other public officials to citizen activists, and everyone in between. This is an opportunity to break ground on the development of an ongoing community dialogue about the role of nonviolence, the role of government, and the role of activists in creating a truly just, equitable, peaceful and sustainable society.
