Monterey Peace and Justice Center Carmel, CA www.peacemonterey.org // The Agape Foundation Board of Trustees Grant $2,000 Support to screen three anti-war films in 2007 and provide increased publicity for the events as part of the Center’s counter-military recruitment campaign. The films, to be shown at the Oldemeyer Community Center’s 300-seat auditorium in Seaside, will be geared towards military-age youth in this low-income, Latino and African-American area of Monterey County. The Center will use these events to distribute counter-military recruitment information and to provide bi-lingual counselors to talk to Spanish-speaking families that may be in attendance. The Center is a resource center and meeting place for individuals and groups working on peace and justice issues in Monterey County. Top
