Dallas Peace Center TBA To Be
Announced ====================================================== A group of about twenty Peace Activists braved the wind and rain and vehicles spraying curtains of water to stand in affirmation for peace. The group met at the fountain at Lincoln Square in Arlington, then walked to the Collins Street overpass of Interstate 30, carrying banners of Peace, signs affirming I STAND FOR PEACE and END THE WAR placards. Some held up signs for the vehicles traveling on I-30 to see while others held their signs for the heavy traffic on Collins Street to see. Motorists were generally supportive, thumbs-up outnumbered thumbs-down by about 200-1. Some in the group distributed flyers proclaiming the I STAND FOR PEACE message to the motorists stopped at the traffic light, while the ever-vigilant Arlington Police force came by every five to ten minutes to check on the activities. The event was sponsored by Peace and Justice Center Arlington, a local group involved with peace education and nonviolence training. The flyer and the I STAND FOR PEACE message is one in the Gandhian model of nonviolence and standing for the change we want to see in the world. The message: I stand for
peace. I
stand for justice. I
stand for equity. I
stand for solidarity. I
stand for diversity. I
stand for sustainability. I
stand for internationalism. I
stand for democracy and autonomy. I
stand for a world whose political, economic, and social
institutions foster solidarity, promote equity,
maximize participation, celebrate diversity,
and encourage full democracy. I
stand for peace and justice and, more, I pledge to work for peace and
justice.
