All Are Welcome
Every Friday Morning
8 AM to 9 AM
A Walk In Momument Square, Concord
We walked together in silence during the first Persian Gulf war, and
we decided to continue our walk.
We walk now to remember that we are one human family and to mourn the loss of
tens of thousands of us to war
We walk to remember the beauty of the earth and to mourn the destruction that
war brings to it.
We walk to gather the strength of spirit to recommit to the very challenging
work of finding ways to resolve our differences without violence - in our homes, in our towns
and cities, and in our world.
We walk in solidarity with other women and men thoughout the world in a bond
of shared concern which reaches across national boundaries.
And we walk together to remember that we are not waging peace alone.
This vigil and walk is open to everyone who would like to join us in this
prayerful spirit. Join us for the full hour or for any part of the time that's possible.
THE WALK WILL BE IN SILENCE
We are asking people to wear black (or a black scarf or arm band) as an expresssion of mourning for
the losses of all kinds generated by war. Please no signs. Thank You.

Antiwar Action: Back to the ‘60s?
By Jeff Epton
Antiwar groups have to face the fact that occupation continues and that 2003's unprecedented worldwide peace mobilization did little to slow the drive to war.
The antiwar groups originally formed to oppose the invasion of Iraq took a variety of different
positions during this election year. Some condemned both major parties as two sides of the same war
party, but urged members to vote anyway. Others, sharing some of the same reservations about the
major candidates, were more ambitious, running their own voter registration and get-out-the-vote
campaigns. Either way, antiwar groups have to face the fact that the occupation continues and that
2003’s unprecedented worldwide peace mobilization did little to slow the drive to war. [...]
