- Stop the Killing - No More Atrocities - Protect Civil Liberties
1. We condemn the terrorists who committed the atrocities of September 11. We're against violence and all forms of terrorism, including war.
2. We defend the rights of all people living in the United States, including those who appear Middle Eastern, to be free from harassment, racial profiling and racist violence.
3. U.S. policy in the Middle East primarily serves the interests of multinational corporations, especially the U.S.-based international oil companies. We advocate a U.S. foreign policy that's in the interest of both the American and Middle Eastern peoples.
4. At this time of crisis and war, it is crucial that we defend the Constitutional Rights and civil liberties that are fundamental to a democratic society. We invite you to join us in exercising our rights to freedom of speech and assembly as we work for peace and justice in Afghanistan and the Middle East, in the United States, and around the world.
People for Peace and Justice of Utah is a program of Blue Sky Institute.

Utah Peace House
Property is being provided by private property owners in the middle of Salt Lake Valley for a Peace House Center. These individuals share the following vision of the space:
OUR VISION
--Our Vision is to make the Utah Peace House a culturally diverse center for personal growth and intellectual understanding that offers hope to humanity by providing education and positive alternatives to violence and wasteful practices.
--Our dream is to create a hub of activism for a variety of organizations that promote the principles of a more peaceful world, the development and implementation of alternative energy, and the practice of reducing, reusing and recycling.
--We plan to offer special welcomes to activists, media, and representatives from far and wide who visit Salt Lake.
The Utah Peace House will be a center for peace and justice and will serve our local and regional communities by:
• Serving as a model for practices of a more peaceful world, including non-violence, alternative energy, and the reduction of waste through actual practice.
• Holding a global awareness and understanding of the needs of peace and environmental issues, acting locally to provide an avenue for individual and group participation of achieving peace and an improved environment.
• Providing education, being a resource and creating vehicles of peaceful, direct action for social change justice and environmental sustainability
PURPOSE
The Utah Peace House will be a locally based space provided by private individuals for providing space for organizations promoting peace and justice.
We recognize the essential unity of all life.
Operating from principles of non-violence and compassion, we will explore ways in which people can live cooperatively with one another and with the earth.
The Utah Peace House will provide an avenue for groups and individuals to participate in social change for peace with justice.
The UtahPeace House will serve as a center for education, outreach and action. While holding a global consciousness we will choose to act on a local level. We will provide our community with a resource center and serve as a communication link between individuals and groups.
Property has been secured in the middle of Salt Lake Valley by private property owners who will be providing space for our peace house center. Now the work begins! We are continuing to accept grants and support for the development our programs and outreach at the peace house center. Please let us know how you can help. Look for a list soon of ways help is needed.
(Note that contributions to the property itself are welcomed, but not tax deductible. Tax deductible donations are accepted for costs towards running the space provided at the Utah Peace House and for the programs developed by PPJ.)

I also direct you to the following link to Project (3rd Continental Congress)to be be held in Philadelphia in late October if all goes well and sufficient folks desire to participate in a process redefining just what this nation is and should be all about.

In addition we are all in support of the A.N.S.W.E.R.org program to produce a Million Man March on DC on September 15.

And on behalf of that effort we found ourselves needed to respond quickly to the insanity that took place in the DC Fenty Administration today..to wit.

That’s it for now!
Yeah, I do too. But be sure to figure out WHO DID IT.
>U.S. policy in the Middle East primarily serves
culprits in Israel or Zionists too.
Here, don't get me wrong. I'm not against Jewish or Israelis in general. I am aware for instance, movement like Women in Black was actually started in Israel. Watch this, Exhibit #1

>4. At this time
No objection ;o) and hope we still have that freedom of speech all right. BTW, Utah? I admire that Mayor of SLC who stood against Dubya, and I think he joined the Mayors for Peace if my memory serves me right... YES!

This site is meant to be a multi lingual placard. It is not meant to provoke power outages. Protest Power Grid will never collect personal information or ask for money. Please put pressure on Salt Lakes Mayor to turn off all non essential lighting. If Nixon did it for Xmas lighting we can do this foe the world. TIA Selavy
Hi roninjapan - the folks who participate with PPJ live along the Wasatch Front - the Salt Lake metropolitan area. Although most of us love to go camping, hiking and backpacking and love to go to the area you talk about - yes, it is quite beautiful!
Anybody live around Zion National Park? I was
a Park Ranger there for a while in the early 90's.
I do miss that part of the country, its so beautiful
there.
