Peace Rally and March
On Sunday, March 18 a Peace Rally took place in Portland at Pioneer Courthouse Square. Several of our “regulars” participated.
We held a special vigil on the 19th (yes Monday) from 5:30 to 6:30 at the Totem Pole in Scappoose. CCCHD signed up for an Iraq War Anniversary Vigil on a shared date with similar MoveOn vigils across the country. Americans across the country are more concerned than ever about our direction in Iraq. Now is the time for Congress to force a change.
On March 19th, thousands of us from organizations across the movement gathered together to observe the fourth anniversary of the war through candlelight vigils. We solemnly honored the sacrifice made by more than 3,000 soldiers and contemplated the path ahead of us. We cannot send tens of thousands of under-equipped and unprepared soldiers into the middle of an un-winnable civil war.
Honor the sacrifice. Stop the escalation. Bring the troops home.
