[H-PAD] Two messages to H-PAD supporters

[Andor Skotnes]

Below are two communications of potential interest to supporters of
Historians for Peace and Democracy.



*1. Tabling at the Left Forum*

H-PAD Supporters:

H-PAD will be sharing a table with the *Radical History Review* at the
upcoming Left Forum, Friday-Sunday, June 1-3, at John Jay College in NYC.
The Left Forum is of course the largest and broadest socialist conference
in the US and has been meeting annually in one  form or another for a half
century  (https://www.leftforum.org/conference/conference-theme-2018-nyc).
Our purpose in tabling and distributing literature at the forum is to raise
the profile of H-PAD on the left, and to do some networking.

But WE NEED HELP!!  If you are coming to the Left Forum, or if you are in
the NYC region, we would very much appreciate it if you could spending some
time—even a short time—helping with the tabling.  Of course, we realize
most of you won’t be able to come to the forum, but would you suggest or
contact other people you know who might help with the table.  Finally,
please give us any advice you have on tabling, networking, or relating to
the forum.

We have not yet set up times for our forum tabling, but the exhibit halls
where the tables are located are open 3-7 pm Friday, 9 am-7.30 pm Saturday,
and 9 am- 5 pm Sunday.

Please get back to us on this as soon as you can.

Thanks!!  Andor Skotnes and Jeri Fogel for H-PAD



*2. Voices of Conscience Conference*
