Some Omni folks have been asking when the Annual Gathering of Members and Friends will be happening.

Protest Sat Jan 25 – 1:00 pm Washington County Courthouse Dickson St. Dear Friends, Although the Iran War has de-escalated some, new starvation sanctions are being placed on Iran, which is deadly economic warfare.
