Santa Rosa Peace Vigil - every Friday 5:30-6:30 PM, Courthouse Square, 3rd and Mendocino, Santa Rosa

Petalumans for Peace will host a vigil for peace in Iraq each Friday evening from 5:00 PM to 5:30 PM -- beginning February 25th -- at the fountain in Helen Putnam Plaza in downtown Petaluma.

Clergy and lay persons from local religious congregations will join with others as a visible sign of hope for peace in Iraq. In silence, participants will stand in witness to lives lost and lives irrevocably changed by the Iraq war.

Tim Nonn, vigil co-organizer, says: "Recognizing the tremendous cost of the Iraq war in human lives, we invite Petalumans [and everyone] to come together to express their grief over the ongoing violence and their hope for a speedy end to the war. We stand in solidarity with Americans and Iraqis whose lives have been torn apart by the war."

All those interested are invited to join the vigil each Friday at 5:00 PM.

Women in Black: Vigil Fridays 12 - 1 PM at the corner of Highways 12 and 16 in Sebastopol and at Mendocino and College in Santa Rosa.

Every Friday: Sonoma Peace Vigil. 5:00PM, Sonoma Plaza at Broadway. Contact Dale or Carol Todd, 935-0712.

4th Saturday of each month: PETALUMA PEACE VIGIL
There will be an anit-war, anti-Bush, pro-peace, etc. vigil at the corner of Washington & Petaluma Blvd. It will start at noon and last for an hour or so. There will be signs there you can use or bring your own. This is a good way to let our community know that the opposition to Bush's obscene policies did not go into hiding. PASS THE WORD!
