Last month two of the active grassroots members of the Tulsa Peace Fellowship picked up sticks and moved to Washington D.C., to join the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker house, in that city.

Rena writes from OKC:
Our regular Third Friday "No More for War" demo this month is
dedicated to support for Bradley Manning, the young GI who is accused
of leaking documents to Wikileaks exposing war crimes. He is in
solitary confinement in Quantico. He is originally from Oklahoma, so
we feel a special need to show our solidarity.

We're coming up on 12 months of continuous monthly vigils to end the war in Afghanistan, unfurling the "U.S. Out of Afghanistan" banner at the corner of 41st & Yale, on the first Saturdays of the month.
This past Saturday was a VERY positive experience for all TPF members who participated. We particularly appreciated the expressions of affection and gratitude from Tulsans driving by. e.g. "Thank yous" from many, and a "we love you" from a couple. A special thanks goes out this…

The group planted seeds and sang…

Thank you to all of you who bought TPF apparel in the month of July. We should be good now for a year on Ning, thanks to CafePress kicking in a percentage of the sale of TPF apparel to cover the annual Ning fee.
Go to the bottom of this page, to find the TPF store, if you're still interested in buying TPF gear. Alternatively, you can find the "pull down tab" from the top-level menu under "members" for "TPF gear, etc." to get to the TPF store on CafePress.
