1. Bellevue

On March 19, the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war, local East Side MoveOn members will be holding a Vigil for Peace. We plan to line Bellevue Way during the evening and make a visible statement of opposition to the endless, escalating tragedy unfolding in Iraq. We'll gather at the SW corner of 8th Ave. NE and Bellevue Way at 5:45 p.m. The vigil is planned for 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. All concerned individuals and anti-war organizations are invited to participate. Bring placards, banners and candles. This event is planned primary as a silent, visual statement of opposition, however we'll begin and end this event with short statements by participants. If you are a veteran, the parent of a veteran or simply an outraged citizen or resident and would like to say a few words, please contact Chris Tombrello @ [e-mail]
