    Sam Weller Bookstore in SLC is holding a 25% off sale on used books prior to their move. With any luck, the library in Wildhorse Coffee will greatly expand as a result! Help out Sam Weller books, and expand your own libraries.

    Wildhorse Coffee is serving as a drop-off point for knitted squares for the CodePINK White House Cozy project. CodePINK will be assembling a blanket-banner to hange on the White House fence with the message
    We will not raise our children to kill another mother's child
    -inspired by Julia Ward Howe's Mother's Day Proclamation. The message will be spelled out in green squares in a background of pink. Visit this link with full details. Come knit at Wildhorse Coffee, or knit when you can and bring the squares in to the shop and drop them in the pink box.

    Third Friday of every month, Take Action! - Iraq Moratorium
    The slow-motion train wreck that is the occupation of Iraq grows daily more of a nightmare. In 2006 America voted to bring it to an end. But our politicians have failed to grasp the strain on our military and the depth to which America's influence in the world has fallen. We must force them and our media to recognize just how angry America is, and how massive the anti-war sentiment in this country has become.
    The Iraq Moratorium will be an escalating monthly series of actions demanding an end to the war. Starting on Friday, September 21 and on the third Friday of every month thereafter, we will take the time to show our President and Congress that our troops must be brought home, now!

Barbecue promoting healthcare for all low income Americans

6-8pm, Liberty Park,  900 South 700 East, Salt Lake City

“Come to a free barbecue and tell your elected representatives you think basic healthcare should be affordable for all Americans.”

More than one third of all uninsured Americans are living under the federal poverty level. This year Congress will vote on legislation to expand Medicaid eligibility to cover all Americans under the poverty level and make healthcare aff ordable for millions of people. Come show support for this bill while eating food and having a good time. We are inviting staff for Utah’s two Senators and three Representatives. It is likely a vote on this bill will take place later in July and so it is important that lots of people come.

This barbecue is free and open to everyone who believes all Americans should be able to afford basic healthcare.
