The ACPJ, sensing a widespread renaissance of hope among our fellow citizens, along with an increased sense of urgency regarding the health of our democracy, is poised to expand its presence and increase its effectiveness as a force for peace, justice, and harmony in the Austin community. To launch this rebirth, we are having a House Concert -- "Just What the Doctor Ordered" – featuring fabulous finger foods, uplifting artwork by Vicky Aeschbacher, and the evocative, healing powers of Austin's beloved Therapy Sisters AND Frank Meyer, a local performer known for his poignant, humorous lyrics and engaging presence.

Forty years after his assassination, April 4, 1968, the inextinguishable light of Dr. Martin Luther King still shines. The Austin Center for Peace and Justice invites you to join us in honoring Dr. King's life and legacy - Because Injustice is Here: The Vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is Revisited - Friday, April 4, at 7:00 p.m. at the University Presbyterian Church, 2203 San Antonio St. (Free child care and free parking in the garage north of and across the street from the church.)

For centuries Tibet, a vast high altitude plateau between China and India, was an independent nation with its own flag, currency, culture and religion. In 1949, following the foundation of the Chinese Communist state, the People's Liberation Army invaded Tibet and soon overpowered its the poorly equipped nation. In March 1959, Tibetans unsuccesfully rose up against the China but the Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama, was forced to flee to India. Approximately 6,000 monasteries, nunneries and temples, have been destroyed since the Chinese invasion and repression of Tibet's culture and religion continues today.
