[dc-zaps] Join NOW at Women's Peace Vigil

The National Organization for Women has expressed its opposition to the
war on Iraq through statements and resolutions adopted by its membership
and National Board during the last six months. NOW has also encouraged
activists and members nationwide to participate in peaceful protests
against the planned war of aggression on Iraq in every region of NOW.
Many chapters
have already engaged in actions against the war on their own and/or with
other local groups and many more are planning to do so in the near
future.

Here in Washington, NOW has joined the United for Peace Vigil at the
White House, started on November 17th and running through March 8th,
2003. This is an on-going protest against the war, a permanent presence
in Lafayette Park of women's voices, drawing attention to the real costs
of war - the loss of human life, the devastation of the environment and
the proliferation of violence.

Join us on Saturday, December 7th or Sunday, December 8th anytime between
10:00 am and 6:00 pm in Lafayette Park for the NOW Vigil Days in
December. We will be joined by activists from other groups and
organizations and together, we will raise our voices in protest through
this peaceful demonstration a few steps away from the Oval Office. You
can give this effort as much time as you can afford - 20 minutes, one
hour, two or the whole day!! Please call us at (202) 628-8669 Ext 144 or
e-mail us at
fieldorg@now.org
and let us know when you will be able to join us on either of those days and at what time. We want to make sure we have the times covered etween 10:00 am and 6:00 pm.
