One of over 500 vigils being organized nationally.

Wednesday, August 17th at 7:30 PM

We will line the sidewalk along Lincoln Memorial drive, north of the Milwaukee Art Museum and just north of the War Memorial Building, near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Please bring candles if you can.

You can sign up for the Milwaukee Vigil for Cindy Sheehan at:
http://www.moveonpac.org/event/cindyvigils/3821

Cindy Sheehan, mother of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan who was killed in Iraq, continues her vigil outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. She has asked supporters to start candlelight vigils in their communities to support her and call for an end to the war. So, Peace Action Wisconsin is joining with MoveOn, True Majority and Democracy for America to promote Vigils for Cindy Sheehan on Wednesday, August 17th, to show our solidarity with Cindy.

Our vigils will be simple and dignified. Together, we'll acknowledge the sacrifices made by Cindy Sheehan, her son, Casey and the more than 1,800 brave American men and women who have given their lives in Iraq—and their moms and families.

This week, let's show the world that there's a huge number of people across America who want this war ended.

"I invite mothers everywhere to stand up with me so that no more of our sons and daughters lose their lives for a war based on lies and deception. Join me in demanding the truth- and an end to the war- by organizing vigils across the country, before one more mother's child is lost."
