NPP In ActionAlameda City, CA
"We used NPP's figures at the City Council to show how the Iraq War impacts us here at home. They passed a unanimous resolution supporting a diplomatic approach to the war. It was a good resolution. Last year we had only 2 votes out of 5. This year 2 people changed their minds and the new council member supported the resolution."
- Dorothy Kakimoto, Local Activist
