This last Sunday, as a kick off for all the activities this week surrounding Ehren Watada's court marshall, there was a large reception at a church in Tacoma for everyone involved in the campaign. Darrel Anderson, war resister, was one of the featured entertainers. Sean Penn was there that night also as he fully supports Ehren and is very active in the anti-war movement. Kathy and I sat with Helga Aguayo, her two daughters, Augustin's mother and sister, whom we had met at our rally the day before. Speaking of the rally, it was a HUGE success, with approximately 450 marchers through Little Tokyo and Carolyn Ho (Ehren's mom) and Helga as featured speakers. (If you haven't guessed already, this week was AWESOME with so many activists coming together to put this illegal war in the spotlight!!)
