Take Back September 11 for Nonviolence


Please join us on the South Park Blocks outside Smith Memorial Union at Portland State University on Sept 11, at 3 p.m., for a rally that promotes a reversal of our war culture and revenge response. We will hear music by Anne Feeney, poetry by Mic Crenshaw, and short talks by Sami Rasouli (founder of Muslim Peacemaker Teams in Iraq), Kathy Kelly (founder of Voices for Creative Nonviolence), Bernard LaFayette (major Civil Rights leader), Stephen Zunes and others. We will welcome the
Veterans for Peace and others who walk to join us from Peace Park (on the east bank of the Steel Bridge--please join them there at 1 p.m. for a peace ceremony), and we will finish with a Coronation of the Collective Heart peace ritual led by Lenore Norrgard. Contact pcwtom@gmail.com for details. Free and open from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. Also register for the following conference, Building Cultures of Peace (Sept 11-13), at http://www.peacejusticestudies.org/.
