The March Vigil will be held Sunday, March 19, at 6:15 PM. At this time, the gazebo in Sherrill seems like the better location to me. Does anyone have a better idea? I am also seeking ideas for a short program and names and emails to add to this group.

I am attempting to contact the Kearney Area PeaceWorkers in Nebraska to exchange sentiments and ideas and to let them know we changed our vigil for March to the 19th "in solidarity" with them. There must be hundreds of groups like ours nation-wide.

NOW is sponsoring a Peace March April 29 in New York City. Is anyone interested in going? Join the March for Peace, Justice, & Democracy.

Peace and Love,
Marcia

JOIN THE MARCH FOR PEACE, JUSTICE & DEMOCRACY ON APRIL 29

Join activists from women's rights groups, the peace movement, environmental groups, civil rights, labor, and religious communities on April 29, 2006 as we march in New York City to call for an end to the war and to change the direction our country is going in.

NOW encourages activists, supporters, friends, and family to prepare for a mass mobilization to call for an end to the war and to change the direction of our country. Join with progressives from women’s rights organizations, the peace movement, environmental groups, civil rights, labor, and religious communities on April 29, 2006 to march in New York City.

We cannot continue to allow the security and human rights conditions to further deteriorate in Iraq. We cannot stand by while U.S. corporations like Halliburton and Bechtel continue to receive contracts worth billions of dollars for reconstruction and other activities in Iraq. We cannot let our country continue toward a trillion dollar debt.

Our call, enough is enough.

Now is the time to give peace a chance. Now is the time to make a difference.

Organize to join the march. Organize to make a difference. Organize because our soldiers need to come home and because U.S. and Iraqi lives depend on it.
