Pax-salon Mailing List: Pax-Conversational Salon

[patty guerrero (pattypax]

HI,      This Tuesday,  Oct 23rd we will have a salon at the West 7th 
Mississippi Market.   It will be Open  Conversation.  

The Salon for October 30, Tuesday, is about the trial of Roger Cuthbertson and 
Molly Wetherall who were acquitted because of their First Amendment Rights 
being confirmed in the verdict for their protesting the killing of Philando 
Castile by police in July 2016.   The trial and acquittal was June, 2018.   
Roger will be at the salon to tell us all about the trial and his thoughts 
about the justice system.


On Indigenous People’s Day this year Annette Klapstein, 66, a retired attorney 
and Emily Johnston, 52, poet and office worker, walked into a northern 
Minnesota courtroom to plead a “necessity defense” for shutting down Canadian 
tar sands oil piped across our state.    
 
Two Twin Cities climate activists, Susu Jeffrey and Jean Ross, attended the 
trial and will report back to the community at the Pax-Conversational Salon on 
Tuesday, Nov. 20.  This was the first moral (“Necessity Defense”)  heard in  a 
U.S. court of law on climate civil disobedience .  


Nov. 27, we will discuss the Little Book of the Month Club book  “The Warmth of 
Other Suns” by Isabel Wilkerson.   It is the epic story of America’s Great 
Migration of Blacks from the south to the north.   It is a book everyone should 
read.   So good.   Narrative non-fiction.   

Thanks,

Patty

ps.  No salon for election day, Nov. 6 or on Nov 13.
