Festival of Peace
Washington-area students and antiwar groups will come together for a Festival of Peace on Saturday, April 5, at the Washington Monument. The event, sponsored by the Campus Antiwar Network, will feature musicians, speakers, workshops and a candlelight vigil. The Campus Antiwar Network, which comprises more than 200 antiwar groups from universities, colleges, high schools and middle schools across the country, was created to help unify the growing student peace movement.
The festival will get started at 1 p.m. at the corner of 17th Street and Constitution Avenue. The candlelight vigil and speakout start at 7 p.m. For more information, send an e-mail here, or call Lauren Ciszak or Crystal Woods at George Washington University, 202/242-1722.
