Events for 05/19/2007

Join us to protest the illegal and immoral wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The peace movement has made huge gains in the last year and the war in Iraq is becoming increasingly unpopular. So, come on down to the Peace Vigil at West Towne Mall to experience the excitement of hearing all the “Honks for Peace” and “Honks for Impeachment” from passing motorists showing their support for the Peace Movement. We can provide signs or bring your own. This is an inspiring and family friendly event! Everyone is welcome and bring a friend. The Peace Vigils have been a monthly event for over a year and continue to re-new our enthusiasm for the Anti-War Movement. Help us count at least 300-400 Honks for Peace and Impeachment in one hour! Click on “Image Gallery” at the top of the web site page to see photos from past Peace Vigils.

On Saturday April 21, MAPC had a successful Peace Vigil outside West Towne Mall. We got 417 Honks for Peace and Impeachment in 67 minutes. Three new volunteers came to the Vigil.

Listen to In Our Back Yard, 6:30 pm to 7 pm, Monday, Wednesday or Thursday, on WORT 89.9 FM, to hear a radio report from the Peace Vigil.

The Peace Vigils at the Malls occur every third Saturday of the month and alternate between East Towne Mall and West Towne Mall. The next Peace Vigil will be held at East Towne Mall at the intersection of  East Washington Avenue and  Thierer Road on Saturday May 19^th, from 11 am to 12 Noon.
