To the MIT peace community:
Since February 2, the Walk for a New Spring has visited
nearly a hundred communities throughout Massachusetts,
listening to heartfelt expression about the roots of terror
and alternatives to war.
On Wednesday, March 20, the first day of spring, the Walk
will make its final journey from Cambridge to the State House
and Federal Building, briefly stopping right here at MIT.
That day, at 10 am on the lawn in front of the Student Center,
we have a chance to stand in solidarity with concernced
citizens from across the state and voice our opposition to the
current war and our support for peace.
So, if you want your government to know that you do not
support the terrible crimes being commited in your name
half way across the globe, please, PLEASE, show up at
10am on 3/20.
Bring signs, bring flowers, bring yourselves.
