[KWPeace-groups] Int Day No War Against Iran Jan 25 / Will KW Peace be local lead organizer?

[Morgan Mastrovich]

Amazing - thank you for taking on the work of organizing this, Tamara.  I
have marked it on my calendar and will be there.  2pm works for me, but
please let us know when a time has been agreed upon :)

I am comfortable with KW Peace being listed as a host organization, but as
a very recent member, I don't feel that I'm a key decision-maker - is there
a process established for us to make this decision collectively?
