PEACE VIGIL
Saturday, March 19th
Dayton Courthouse Square corner of
Third and Main St, 300 S. Main St.
6:30 pm
We come together not representing any particular
group. We are not black, white, yellow, Muslim, Jew
or Christian. We are human beings who are very
concerned about the violent direction our country is
being directed in.
We believe that the foundation of humankind is the
belief that you treat each other as you would want
to be treated yourself, not just nationally, but
globally.
~To call for the end to the occupation.
~To support Troops by bringing them home now.
~To advocate for the care of our Troops when they
return.
~To call for an end to pre-emptive wars.
~To call for an inclusive foreign policy.
Guest speakers from Military Families Speak Out,
Veterans for Peace, University of Dayton, local
peace activists. Music by "Frienz", a local veterans
group.
Please bring a penlight or candle.
Sponsored By:
American Friends Service Committee, Dayton

Vigil in Dayton followup

In Dayton, OH we had a gathering of a 100 to 150 people marking the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
We moved our vigil to the Christ Episcopal Church due to rain, which I think decreased attendance.
The local R&B band Frienz, comprised of Vietnam Vets provided some great music. They have just returned from a tour in Afghanistan.
Speakers included members of VFP, MFSO, Univ. of Dayton Faculty, local activists and a Sister from the Precious Blood order.
Local television coverage was gotten on the ABC affliate 11PM news, and a small article in the Dayton Daily News.
As was seen throughout the country the media fell short of it's reporting responsibilities in covering the over 700 anti-war events occurring all over the country.
Thank you / report
