+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The presence of a VFP chapter in our two counties is already a welcome addition to the interdependent peace workers and organizations in Rogue Valley. Peace groups here have been working hard for many years to offset the fundamentalist neoconservatism of this region.
Fellow VFP have had a hand in scores of actions here in Rogue Valley alongside local groups such as Citizens for Peace and Justice (CPJ), Jobs with Justice (SOJwJ), Applegate Citizens for Political Change (ACPC), Social Justice Alliance, Students for Truth, Universalist Unitarians, Methodists and Christian Scientists, and Peace House. We have also worked and campaigned with many other groups and organizations throughout Oregon and the U.S.
Congratulations to the Rogue Valley Veterans for Peace #156 members. I am exceedingly proud of them, and of all the individuals who make up the peace community in Jackson and Josephine counties. There are hundreds of people here deserving credit for their good works, and they are all heroes.--Hal Anthony
