Be a Handful Contributor

Articles, editorials and calendar items are

welcome. If you would like to offer something to be a part of the next issue, contact Liz Moore at pjals@pjals.net to submit your article.

We reserve the right to select contributions based upon appropriateness to the message of PJALS, and availability of space. Articles are subject to editing to accommodate space. PJALS staff has the ability to publish a fine newsletter, but it takes

membership participation for the Handful to be the great publication our peace and justice movement needs and deserves.

Volunteers Make It Happen

            Being responsive on all issues facing our world, country and community takes many hands. PJALS is richly served by many who participate at tables, on committees, and in our office.

            Be a part of the team, contact Vickie at 838-7870 or vwoodley@pjals.net.
