This & That Jan 3, 2012

Lots going on right now--I'm sharing some of the stuff I've come across recently and would like to continue to bundle items like this into occasional emails for the northwest PA peace & justice community. Also posted here http://www.erielead.org/node/6361
 

Meadville Women in Black to begin vigils again in 2012

The Meadville Women in Black group, which has held regular vigils since 2004, will be taking a break this winter. Vigils will begin again in the spring of 2012.

For several years, the group gathered every Saturday in Diamond Park, braving all kinds of weather--and for a time some fairly intense harassment. In recent years they have gathered on the first Saturday of the month.

The group displays white flags with gold stars, each one representing a Pennsylvania servicemember killed in the Iraq War.

Information (814)572-4239.
