Details: These vigils are a weekly anti-war presence. The October 17th vigils will mark the call for a national day of local anti-war actions.
After the noon vigils, we will converge at Goodale Park for a rally in the short north. Bring a brown bag lunch to Goodale Park (corner of Park and Buttles – look for the peace flags!). We will be assembling there, making coffins, signs, and banners for a vigil at Buttles and High from 2:00-3:00 PM .
