Stand in vigil on New Year’s Day

The AFSC Wage Peace Campaign is calling people to hold vigils tomorrow (January 1) to mark the death of 3000 soldiers in Iraq, and call for the end of the war. You can find a vigil near you by going to their site. We’ll be at the Peace bridge (the Marshall Ave., Lake St. bridge joining Minneapolis to St. Paul) at 5 pm tomorrow.

I began writing this blog more than three years ago, and one of the first things I wrote about was protesting the beginning of this futile exercise. Three years and more into it, it's more important than ever that people make visible their protest of our government's continuing actions in Iraq.
