There’s a group working out of Rogers to help immigrant families who’ve been targeted by ICE, one person and one family at a time. If you’d like to help them, there is a way. Nicole Mozzoni is collecting for several families, with more to come. Her phone is 479-644-0710, if you can help. Give her a call please!

VENEZUELA ANTHOLOGY #9, November 20, 2025

 in Dick's Newsletter 2025

Compiled by Dick Bennett for a Culture of Peace, Justice, and Ecology https://jamesrichardbennett.blogspot.com/2025/11/omni-venezuela-anthology-9-november-20.html What’s at stake: The U.S. is addicted to war. With the renaming of the Department of War, a proposed Pentagon budget of $1.01 trillion, and more than 750 military bases across some 80 countries, this is not a nation pursuing peace.
