DEMONSTRATIONS
FOR PEACE
The Response to Sept. 11 & War on Terror
|
Many
peace activists feel isolated because peace activities are not
reported in mainstream media. In one effort to help to correct
this, the WRL has set up this page to post events from around
the country that have happened, will happen, or are happening
on a continuous basis. If you know of such an event, please
submit the form at the bottom of
this page, or call (212-228-0450), fax
(212-228-6193), e-mail (nowar@warresisters.org)
us.
Note,
these events are listed as a public service and are not
necessarily endorsed by the War Resisters League.
