The Peace & Justice Center is happy to welcome Silicon Valley Transit Users as a new community partner. The group is made up of people who use mass transit such as VTA buses, light rail, Caltrain, and ACE instead of a car to commute.
More information about the group and their work to pressure the the Valley Transportation Authority, its Board of Directors, and elected officials to ensure excellent service for transit users can be found on
their web site. People can follow the Transit Users on Twitter at @svtransitusers. There is a
Yahoo! Groups mailing list available at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vtaridersunion The Transit Users will hold a meeting at the Peace & Justice Center on Thursday, July 29 from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., open to the public -- especially transit users!

The SJ Peace & Justice Center has a TV show on San Jose Comcast cable Channel 15. Starting in August, 48south7th will be broadcast on Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. Since its launch in June, we have produced and aired four shows dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the military's plan to control the world from space, South Bay residents' efforts to cope with the health care crisis, and a benefit concert by David Rovics. You can watch the shows online and get more information about the issues covered in each show at 48south7th.org
If you or your group would like to know how to get involved, contact us. If you have or would like to develop your camera skills (studio and field), video editing, interviewing, graphics, research, or outreach savvy, we'd like to hear from you. Email us at video@sanjosepeace.org.
