1.  For anyone attending the annual Left Forum this coming weekend at Pace University in New York City (click here for Left Forum website), HAW will have a literature table that will be up on Friday evening, Saturday morning and afternoon, and possibly Sunday morning.  Anyone interested in helping to staff the table for an hour or more should contact Jeri Fogel at jerise@jerise.com.
