Join us for this very special event, where we'll honor Plowshares Activist Susan Crane, now in Dublin Federal Prison for her courageous witness at the Trident Nuclear Submarine Base in Washington; Karen Pickett, tireless activist with Judi Bari for Earth First; Cindy Sheehan, anti-war activist-extraordinaire who first spoke at BFUU on July 4, 2004 just 3 months after her son Casey was killed in Iraq; and Carolyn Scarr, who tirelessly works for Peace and Justice as head of Ecumenical Peace Institute & leader of the 13 year vigil every week in front of Oakland Federal Building.
The Women of Action Awards will be presented following a delicious dinner by our professional caterer Chris Planellas. Music by Stephen Esteban Meyers, Maxina Ventura, Vic Sadot, Artemisia, comedy by Mrs. T-Bill Banks, & a performance by TheatreWorks!
BFUU serves as a community center for so many justice events, and has historically been the initiator of significant movements for change. Help support BFUU's continuing service to the community!

Hal Carlstad, long-time BFUU friend, was known throughout Berkeley and neighboring communities as a leader in a wide range of progressive social and environmental causes and as devoted to many issues: saving old-growth forests, ending the death penalty, protesting nuclear weapons, stopping the war in Iraq, and solidarity with the peoples of Haiti, Cuba, Palestine, Central America, People’s Park and all who suffered from injustice. In embracing so many works, he moved in many different circles and touched thousands of lives.
