Happy New Year from The Declaration of Peace!
We pray for Peace in Iraq, Gaza, and Afghanistan, and in and among all lives. Let us all recommit to work together for Peace in 2009.
The March of the Dead
The Declaration of Peace endorses and encourages your participation in a dramatic nonviolent action as the U.S. Congress convenes in Washington, D.C., next Tuesday.
To make apparent the true nature and impact of war and military occupation, The March of the Dead will proceed silently across D.C. to the halls of Congress on January 6, 2009.
The March of the Dead is organized by the Activist Response Team.
See photos and an account from the March 19, 2008 March of the Dead at The Critical Voice website.
Read the March of the Dead announcement from the Activist Response Team below, and contact Laurie for more specifics on the action:
As you can see we are organizing for the opening of the 111th Congress. We think this will be a very celebrated moment, with lots of national, foreign and local media present that day. We think it is crucial that we be there too, in order to offer an image and message of the stark reality of the consequences of two brutal occupations and the destruction that further escalation will cause.
The more people we can encourage to participate, the more powerful will be THE MARCH OF THE DEAD.
Please join us if you can, and pass this on to others.
If you or anyone has questions please call me at (917) 915-6115 and I would be glad to talk. Hope all is well with you as the year comes to an end and in the new year. Best, Laurie
