For Mardi Gras this year, we partied like it was 1969!
Here is the link to the pictures we took of Peace Fresno’s appearance in the 2010 Mardi Gras parade through Fresno’s Tower District this Valentine’s Day: See our
“Blast From The Past”.
For those of you who are interested in promoting the Peace and Justice Festival, I’ve put up 2 different flyers in print quality format.
There are .jpg and .pdf versions of both the 8½ by 11 and “4 Up” flyer (4 copies per 8½ x 11 page). These can be downloaded and reproduced. If you intend to take them to a print shop, you’ll get the best results from downloading the file to a CD or a flash drive and taking the file to the printer rather than a hard copy. Places like Copy Max or Kinko’s can give you superb reproductions from a file. If you take a printed copy, you’ll get copies that are no better than a second generation reproduction of whatever quality your own printer can manage.
This is the link to the 8½ by 11 .jpg.

My friend Kevin Wightman sent me this. You all should watch the video, it makes it’s own case very eloquently:
“On December 7th, 2009 at 1:30pm GMT Starbucks invited musicians from all over the world to sing together at the same time to raise awareness for AIDS in Africa. In that one breathtaking moment, musicians from 156 countries played “All You Need is Love” together. …

Thomas Ian Nicholas
At Peace Fresno’s Peace and Justice Festival in March, actor, singer, songwriter Thomas Ian Nicholas will be performing a set of music and giving a speech in the character of 60s activist Abbie Hoffman, who he portrays in the move “The Chicago 8″, scheduled to be released later this year. This is excerpted from his latest newsletter to his fans:
Dear John,
2010 is here and it seems like January is full of hope. Despite the devastating earthquake in Haiti, people are rising to the occasion to help.
It’s with that effort in mind we will be donating all profits of our CD sales for the next 2 months to “KnightsBridge International” They are a grass-roots organization that gets much needed supplies into hard to reach areas.
To order our CD now, go to www.ThomasNicholasBand.com
If we all do a little, it counts as a lot.
This week Thomas is at Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, attending the premiere of his new move “Please Give” and performing acoustic sets of his music in various clubs around town.



I am reproducing here an e-mail that I got today from NOVICA, which is an affiliate of the National Geographic Society that focuses on giving craftspeople from around the world a market place for their wares. I think this letter pretty much says it all about what is happening in this impoverished Caribbean nation. I would add to the below that if you give to the red cross, please specify that the donation is for the Haitian relief effort, but please, give in some way to this humanitarian cause.
Fiat Lux,

Dear Friends,
We’re extremely concerned about the massive earthquake that struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti. The latest field reports as of this morning show more than 3 million impacted with over 100,000 dead and tens of thousands more injured. This is one of the worst natural disasters since the Asian tsunami of 2004, which affected so many of our artisans.
Haiti is a country with such a difficult history. It is one of the most impoverished nations in the world. Haiti is also known worldwide for its amazing folk art. Some of the best artisan painters in the world live in Haiti. We’re very saddened that this disaster has impacted so many people, including many of these talented artists.
We’re also saddened by the impact on so many relief workers stationed in Haiti. They had traveled there to do good and help people, and now had this terrible natural disaster befall them.
If you’d like to directly support the relief efforts, here are some direct links:
Unicef
Oxfam
Mercy Corps
Doctors without Borders
The Red Cross
We are joining the relief efforts by donating 10% of our sales from Brazil, Mexico, and Peru: NOVICA
Our hearts are with all the victims,
Roberto Milk
Co-founder & CEO
