Dennis
Kucinich received 2009 Thomas Merton Award
Thank you to all who
joined us in honoring Congressman Dennis Kucinich
(D-OH) at the 37th annual Thomas Merton Award Dinner
on November 1. Kucinich is well-known as a long-time
peace and justice advocate within the political
community.
We had a fantastic
turnout at this year's award dinner. Thank you, all,
for showing your support for both Kucinich and the
Thomas Merton Center.

 G-20
Media Support
The g20media.org web portal was created
to serve as a comprehensive information clearinghouse for members of the media
and as a centralized hub for organizers organizing around the G-20 Summit in
Pittsburgh.
The mobilization may be over, but the quest for justice and accountability in
the aftermath of the massive parliamentary suppression of public dissent is just
beginning.
For more information, check out
www.g20media.org.
Sign
Up Your Lawn
"War is not the Answer" and "Support the Troops - End the War" yard signs are available. Pick up a free
sign at the Thomas Merton Center to show Pittsburgh and the world your
opposition to military action in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and around the
world!
For more information, call the Center at 412-361-3022.

Are You a Member of the TMC?
If not, what are you waiting for?
Our peace and justice work is accomplished
primarily by volunteers, but we can't exist without the financial support of our
members. Consider becoming a member of the Thomas Merton Center as a way of
showing your support for the many people and projects that make peace and
justice a full-time effort.
We Need Volunteers!
●
Looking to try your hand at grant-writing? The Thomas Merton Center can use you!
● Do
you have a vehicle and can help take the Center's recycling once a month to
Construction Junction?
● Do you like to work with people on a personal basis? The
East End Community Thrift
Store is looking for people to help out at their Penn Avenue storefront.
There's a lot of work that goes into running a store - sorting donations,
setting up displays, helping customers - and whatever your skills, there's a
place for you.
● Are
you in school and want to volunteer but can't find the time because of classes?
Check out our
internships.
If you can help with one or more of these items, call 412-361-3022 or email
Melissa.
