*May 21, 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM WEEPING WOMEN WALK* We will participate in a 
silent walk through Boston to remember the suffering and loss of lives 
in this war. Remebering husbands, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters 
who served in the military, and since soldiers and civilians die 
together, we remeber the ordinary Iraqi people who are killed in their 
homes and on the streets just because they live in the midst of a war 
torn country.
We live in a culture of violence both in our local communities and the 
wider world. It is the responsibility of every person to use their 
personal power to say no more war, no more killing, and no more death 
and no more suffering. It is especially important for women to speak�  
and walk for peace as it is we who give birth to boys (girls) and raise 
them to be men (women.)
