Peace Vigil - Celebrate 10 Years of Resistance to War

Celebrate 10 Years of Resistance to War

Wednesday, June 17, 5:00 p.m. (Vigil) Lake Street/Marshall Avenue Bridge Spanning the Mississippi River between Minneapolis and St. Paul. 6:30 p.m. (Potluck Dinner, Music and Storytelling) St. Albert the Great Church, 2836 33rd Avenue South, Minneapolis. In 1999, a group of peace activists started a weekly vigil on the Lake Street/Marshall Avenue bridge over the Mississippi.  Continuing today, the vigil has focused primarily on opposing U.S. policy in Iraq, but vigilers have also raised their voices against threats of war against Iran, North Korea, Syria; torture, attacks on civil liberties, opposing the war on Afghanistan and U.S. support for the occupation of Palestine, and calling on the government to fund human services…not war. Join others at a special vigil, potluck and speakout to remember 10 years of consistent public witness against sanctions, war and occupation. Music provided by Bret Hesla and Linda Breitag.  Sponsored by: the Twin Cities Peace Campaign-Focus on Iraq (TCPC) and WAMM. FFI: Call TCPC, 612-522-1861 or WAMM, 612-827-5364.
