Subject: Fellowship of Reconciliation
Description: What? We haven’t stopped war and injustice yet? The Powers That Be want us to feel discouraged and to give up. They always tell us we are losing, even while we are making progress in a great number of ways!
While peace and justice activists set our sights on ambitious goals, we easily fail to notice and celebrate the smaller step-by-step goals we are accomplishing. Recognizing and celebrating our accomplishments can reinforce and energize us to keep moving ahead and bring other people into the movement.

Subject: University of Washington
Description: UW is in the process of negotiating a ten-year, multi-million dollar contract with NIKE.
The contract does not protect workers from the human rights violations common in the global apparel industry.
There are NO guarantees that workers will receive a living wage, NO mechanisms to ensure workers work less than 60 hours per week, NO protection from union busting, and NOTHING to prevent NIKE from abandoning factories that respect worker’s rights.
NIKE WORKERS DESERVE MORE!
