Join Our Weekly Friday Vigil!

We have been vigiling every week for over 8 years, beginning when we tried to stop the invasion of Iraq.  Our perpetual theme is "wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are not making us safer; they care costing blood and treasure, wrecking our economy and our standing in the world".  Join us, please, and stand up for  and end to these disaastrous wars.  NOTE: We also periodically devote our vigils to related issues such as nuclear weapons, Guantanamo detentions, war profiteers, and Climate Change.
