	Tell state legislators: Wisconsin can have a carbon free /and/* nuclear free future!* Come to Carbon Free, Nuclear Free Lobby Day on Tuesday, February 23! The Clean Energy Jobs Act, Wisconsin's climate change bill, would boost energy efficiency and renewable energy. However, the current draft would also gut the state’s safeguards on new nuclear reactors. Most significantly, the bill would completely remove the requirement for a national nuclear waste repository, before new nuclear reactors can be built here. This would not only open up Wisconsin to more stockpiles of radioactive nuclear waste, but also increase the risk that the Wolf River Batholith region could once again be high on the list for a national nuclear waste repository. If you want to keep our current safeguards on new nuclear reactors, join us for Carbon Free, Nuclear Free Wisconsin lobby day in Madison on February 23! /Meeting with your legislators is the most effective way to have your voice heard./ The RSVP deadline for our Carbon Free, Nuclear Free Wisconsin lobby day is February 16. Please contact us before then, so that we have time to set up your appointments with your state legislators. We’ll send you details, and see you on February 23! Here’s what you can expect on February 23: · From 8 a.m. on, gathering in our Capitol meeting room, coffee and breakfast provided · Starting at 9 a.m., informational sessions about the bill, the nuclear issue in Wisconsin and what to expect during meetings with your legislators · Meeting with your legislators in the morning and/or afternoon, depending on their schedules · Starting at noon, lunch will be available in our Capitol meeting room

	Cinnamon or cumin, chocolate or coffee, fishing line or toilet paper – which of these household items are allowed into Gaza under the Israeli blockade? Shoppers at the Farmers' Market will be challenged to test their knowledge by taking the “Gaza Blockade Quiz.” Each participant will be asked to identify banned items from a table of everyday products.


	Madison VFP will again erect a somber memorial to the more than 4,000 US dead in the Iraqi-Afghanistan wars. Volunteers will be needed both to assemble additional tombstones in mid-May, as well as to erect the stones on Sunday morning. Volunteers will also be needed to to answer questions about the project and to provide a neighborhood watch at the site each night to safeguard against potential vandalism. Please sign up to volunteer for this project!
