The United Nations and the controversy surrounding it will be the official topic of conversation for Santa Monica democrats next week.
The Santa Monica Democratic Club invites all interested persons to attend its next meeting to hear about the United Nations, the Bolton nomination and the numerous issues involving the United Nations.
The guest speaker, Irving Sarnoff, has had a lifetime of involvement in social-justice issues. Originally a union organizer, Sarnoff subsequently organized the Peace Action Council of Los Angeles, which is the leading anti- Vietnam War organization, according to officials.
Over the past few years he has traveled worldwide, speaking on behalf of the United Nations-sponsored International Human Rights Charter.
Based in Santa Monica, Sarnoff is involved full time in promoting and defending the United Nations. A question-and-answer period will follow the formal presentation. The event is free, open to the public, with free parking and refreshments. The discussion will take place on Wednesday, June 29, at 7 p.m. at the St. Annes community room on 20th Street and Colorado Avenue.
