Neighborhood Coalitions meeting in church halls and living rooms throughout the Southland are working hard to stem the tide of war. To date, the number of groups, organizing, informing and in some cases protesting weekly, is around 70. Groups very in age from months or years to weeks or days. The
Venice Peace Movement has been on the boardwalk 72 weeks, while the
Malibu Citizens for Peace was formed earlier in the year. The simple act of
one person standing on a street curb saying, “No Blood for Oil” produces a powerful message not often heard in the main stream media. Efforts by
Neighbors for Peace and Justice have helped to influence friends, passerby’s and the Los Angeles City Council to oppose the White House rush to war. Sooo, if you haven’t joined in, try it! The peace movement is meeting on a street corner
near you.
Below are highlighted some of the groups and coalitions that have made PEACE their local commitment to the global neighborhood.
