Camp Hope - Countdown to Change

In January, 2009, Barack Obama will be inaugurated as president of the United States. We earnestly hope his presidency will signal the dawning of long-needed progressive change in the United States. To help build popular momentum behind the progressive goals of President Obama’s campaign, we intend to maintain a 20-day presence, from January 1 – 19, 2009, in Hyde Park, Chicago: “Camp Hope: Countdown To Change.”

As activists committed to nonviolence, several groups working for peaceful and just social change, both locally and nationally, plan to launch Camp Hope. These groups include: Voices for Creative Nonviolence, the St. Louis-based Justice and Peace Shares, Pax Christi, IL, AFSC, IL Coalition for Peace, Justice, and the Environment, the Eighth Day Center for Justice, Kairos Chicago, North Suburban Peace Initiative, North Shore Coalition for Peace and Justice, Hyde Parkers for Peace and Justice and the Peace Action Sub-committee of the First Unitarian Church of Chicago.

Now, we welcome your participation in this promising project. Camp Hope
