C'ville Peace Demonstrations now at 5:00-6:00 PM

Every Thursday, Downtown, in front of the Federal Building.

The Charlottesville Center for Peace and Justice needs your help and participation! For years we have held a weekly demonstration in front of the Federal Building on Ridge St. to protest wars, bombings, and occupations. This is a critical action performed by the peace center, it shows Charlottesville that there are still people out here opposed to the militarism projected globally by the United States.

WE NEED MORE PARTICIPATION to keep this long standing tradition going. This is a fun activity, lots of honking and waving from many supportive drivers. I particularly enjoy waving to the buses as they pass by. In the post Obama election era, it is more important than ever to show that there are still wars going on in Iraq, Afghanistan, and an almost secret bombing campaign in Pakistan. Despite the message of "change" that was promoted by the current administration, the real changes have been focused on increased military action, resulting in more civilian and military casualties.

We think this makes it more important than ever to show Charlottesville that many of us simply won't sit by while the wars and bombings continue.

Please! Add your presence on Thursdays, in front of the Federal Courthouse Building, from 5:00 to 6:00. Support the few who consistently show up so that the Thursday demonstrations do not become a thing of the past. We'll have lots of posters there for you to choose from.

Stand Up For Peace!
