Stop in the Name of Love
Ela Gandhi from South Africa is calling upon the women of the world to demand an end to war and senseless violence by urging all of the men in their lives to remember our humanity and not engage in war in Iraq. Come together with women everywhere on Saturday, March 1, for one hour and not contribute to our economies (no shopping, no work, etc.). At 11 a.m., wherever you are, start marching until noon, when we will all stop and pray for peace -- bowing our heads, kneeling or in whatever means you pray -- for five minutes. In our unity, let us begin to create a peaceful world for our children and future generations. For more information, call Mel Duncan of Nonviolent Peaceforce at 651/487-0800.
