Tompkins County Against War & Occupation

Update from the Different Drummer

We had a good turnout for the Public Forum last week and the event was covered by local media and interested parties. It was well received and we have gotten a number of positive comments. We would like to thank those who attended and contributed to the event.

Here are links to the coverage that we have so far.
