Follow The Women Tour
Friday, March 5th 7PM Collen McGuire will be at The Peace Abbey to make a presentation about the organization that brings over 200 women cyclists every year to the Middle East for peace, solidarity, and empowerment. Colleen, a co- founder and organizer of the tour said,"The tour's purpose is to call attention to the fact that women and children suffer most in regions of conflict-innocent victims of hostile government policies".
Colleen has participated in the tour four times and has met and cycled with some amazing women including the First Lady of Syria and Queen Rania of Jordan.
Colleen will be showing slides and talking about her experiences and inviting American women to join the tour.
Ora McGuire, Coleen's mother, a wonderful peacemaker lives locally in Walpole and will be with us for the evening. All are welcome! We extend the invitation to young people as well.
Walpole Peace and Justice Group on the Walpole Common, Saturday, March 6, 10:00 - 11:00 AM
Please join us for a peace vigil on Saturday, March 6 from 10:00 to 11:00 AM as we call for the end of Afghanistan and Iraqi wars and the redirection of funds to human needs. The vigil will be held at the Walpole Common at the corner of Main and Front Streets across from the Walpole Cooperative Bank. Tragically, the number of U.S. service personnel killed in Afghanistan since the beginning of the war reached 1,000 on February 23, not to mention the thousands of Afghanistan troops and civilians killed and wounded and the thousands of refugees who have fled the ongoing fighting.
Peace vigils are held on the first Saturday of the month from 10:00 to 11:00 AM on the Walpole Common.
