RALLY ON SATURDAYS WITH US
Friends for Peace,
We will be walking around the 400 Block each Saturday morning at 10 am until about 11:30. Many come to walk and many come to sit on the corners of the 400 Block with signs and flags to be present for people who want to stop to talk.
Please join us as you are able! Bring a new sign if you have time. We do have some to share if you need one!

In Solidarity,
Carolyn, Claudette, Nancy and David
