Peace is the Way

Wherever we go there are advertizements for war: tv, radio, posters, subway ads, computer and video games, on & on. These all add up to an acceptance of war as the way to "redress grievances."
WAR IS NOT THE WAY TO PEACE. But you know that already.
UFPJ's next big peace push is this Saturday. Please do what you can to spread the word for peace.


ASSEMBLE ON BROADWAY

RALLY AT 12:00 NOON

and here is an organization which might stimulate a desire to participate in further grass roots efforts for peace:
TAKE A STAND. Sign the VOTERS FOR PEACE Pledge!
Who we are...
VotersForPeace is educating, organizing and activating voters to end the occupation of Iraq and prevent future wars of aggression. Our mission is to mobilize anti-war voters into a visible and effective political force that cannot be ignored.
We provide voters with the information and tools they need to be effective advocates; this includes educating your friends and family on the occupation, writing letters to the media or working to hold congressional and presidential candidates accountable.
Together we can summon the civil courage to take a stand and work for positive change!
