Peace is Possible

There were 13 of us gathered at the Northwest corner of Sylvester Park in downtown Olympia, Washington yesterday in order to bear vigilant witness to the crimes and human rights abuses that are being committed by members of the Government of the USA.

Participants gathered, also, to bear a message of hope and peace, that the problems of the world, the violence and ecological/environmental degradation, the greed and exploitation, etc. - these problems and others - can be solved. There is a better way.

Hello all - a friendly reminder for the Impeachment Party this Friday. There will be some great speakers and opportunities to connect with others and organize around impeachment. I posted this event to the calendar a couple weeks ago, but I want to make sure that nobody who would like to attend misses out. So if you support impeachment, or even if you're just curious, here's your invitation to attend and party for impeachment. Here's the pertinent information (following a link to the original event posting):
