Through the years, the Committee has perhaps been best known for its work of relief and rehabilitation for the victims of war. In 1917, at its inception, it sent young men and women to France where they worked in cooperation with British Friends, feeding and caring for refugee children, founding a maternity hospital, repairing and rebuilding homes, and providing returning refugees with the necessities with which to start life once more. With the cessation of hostilities in 1918, the work of the Service Committee spread into other war-ravaged lands: into Russia where workers helped to fight famine and disease, into Poland and Serbia where they established an orphanage and helped in agricultural rehabilitation, into Germany and Austria where they fed hungry children.

Photoreport from the Oct. 15 action outside Quiznos HQ During the morning preparations for our action outside Quiznos headquarters last Friday, Gerardo Reyes Chavez (on the left) from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers quickly scrawled a sign reading "Quiznos!!! The World is changing. When will you?" His words cut to the significance of the current moment in the Campaign for Fair Food and the urgency of the need for Quiznos to join the potential tidal shift in farm labor relations in Florida (and beyond) which the moment represents. Just last week, the CIW and Pacific Tomato Growers, one of the nation's largest tomato growers, announced a milestone agreement embodying the principles of fair wages, human rights and a voice for farmworkers for which the CIW has been fighting for so long. The agreement represents the first direct relationship between a grower and the grassroots, worker-led Coalition. Such a relationship would have been unimaginable just a couple years ago and is a profound break with literally hundreds of years of history during which farm owners have viewed farmworkers as little more than "machines in the fields."

For the past 10 years, Street Spirit has been dedicated to empowering poor and homeless people and giving a voice to the voiceless, at a time when the voices of the poor are virtually locked out of the mainstream media. American Friends Service Committee shoulders the entire printing costs of more than $3,000 per month to give our homeless vendors a positive alternative to panhandling, and to give our readers a progressive alternative to the corporate-controlled mainstream media. Help us remain an independent voice for justice! Please donate or subscribe to Street Spirit. Street Spiri t provides homeless people with a voice which cannot be found in the mainstream media. In our news coverage, commentary, art, and poetry, we focus on the crucial areas of concern which affect the daily lives and survival of the homeless poor. Just as importantly, the newspaper is distributed on the streets by homeless vendors, enabling them to earn a living to make it through these hard economic times. Street Spirit is more than a newspaper it is a community. And you, the reader, can be part of this community by your support. Street Spirit is a tool of enabling and empowering, not just a handout. Please help us continue this crucial work by donating to Street Spirit or subscribing for $25 per year.

T eeksa P hotography ... chiel What Would It Be Like if the United States Were Iraq? (From the American Friends Service Committee's display What would the US look like if it were in Iraq's current situation? The US population is more than 11 times that of Iraq. Violence killed 300 Iraqis [recently], proportionally equivalent to 3,300 Americans. What if 3,300 Americans died in car bombings, grenade and rocket attacks, machine gun spray, and aerial bombardment [each] week? That is greater than the deaths on September 11th, and if America were Iraq, it would be an ongoing, weekly toll. THE EVENING NEWS Capitol Under Attack The death toll is rising as major attacks continue in the Northeast cities of Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and Baltimore. The White House and other buildings near the National Mall remain under mortar fire. Employees at the State Department, White House, and Pentagon consider it too dangerous to leave their compounds for visits to the suburban enclaves of Crystal City and Alexandria. Reporters for major foreign television and print media remain trapped in Washington, DC and New York hotels, unable to safely move more than a few blocks and dependent on stringers to know what is happening in Oklahoma City and St Louis. Eyewitness accounts and visits to the Midwest take place only when reporters travel embedded in with occupation forces.

In Denver, local police unlawfully kept intelligence "spy files" on people and organizations involved in legal, peaceful protests Service Committee staff, and in some cases volunteers, have been visited by the FBI, or followed and trailed by car and helicopter both at home and office National organizations participating in the effort include the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Greenpeace, the American Indian Movement, and Catholic Peace Ministries. Since September 11, a general atmosphere of fear has allowed many Americans to accept the gradual erosion of their constitutionally protected rights. Opinion polls show many now believe that the threat of terrorism requires a new way of living, arguably one that grants more and more power to local police and government groups such as the FBI or CIA. The consequences could be tragic.
