Friday Prayer Walk, hosted by the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland at St.

54] – Attend A Prayer for the Love of Humanity on Fri., April 19, Good
Friday at noon @Lockheed Martin the world's #1 war
profiteer, from drone war technology to nuclear weapons and war preparations,
at Mall & Goddard Boulevards, King of Prussia, PA (behind King of
Prussia Mall). This
year, the Brandywine Peace Community's annual observance of Good Friday and, no
less, the start of Passover, will be a bit different from the observances over
the past 40 years at Lockheed Martin. Speak out as
has happened for all these decades, and
continue to protest and resist. This
year, however, in this "Trumpian" time of hate and the walls of hate,
in this time of war and violence against the "OTHER," in this time of a new nuclear weapons build-up
without moral debate or barely public mention, seek to end the silence by
declaring peace. Hold up crosses not covered with bombs, but with the words: For The
Love of Humanity.
Walk the Stations of Justice, Nonviolence,
Peace, and Love.
There are still 2 minutes to 'nuclear midnight' on
the doomsday clock, and work to Abolish
Nuclear Weapons, and to Support the UN Treaty
for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons. See
http://www.nuclearban.us/.
Call the Brandywine Peace Community, (484) 574-1148, if you are
interested in participating in the nonviolent resistance and willing to face
arrest. An
on-site meeting will happen at 11 AM for those engaging
in resistance.

– It is a violation of
U.S. law for us to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only
Congress can declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the
war drums for war against Iran and Venezuela. The Mueller investigation is
tightening the vise, and could cause Trump to attack those countries in order
to divert attention from Russian interference in the 2016
presidential election. Such a military strike would demand an immediate
and unequivocal response from us to show that we will not tolerate his abuse of
power.
Let's mobilize to show that we the
people will not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound
to have profound negative consequences. If a preemptive military strike
against Iran or North Korea takes place, then meet outside the War Memorial, 101 N. Gay St., Baltimore, MD 21202. If the
attack is before 2 PM local time, then events will begin at 5 PM,
local time. If the attack occurs after 2 PM local time, then events
will begin at noon, local time, the following day. Contact Max
at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.

campaign for the elimination of nuclear weapons: http://www.globalzero.org/sign-declaration.
A growing group of leaders around the world is calling for the elimination of
nuclear weapons and a majority of the global public agrees. This is an
historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the
balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.

“One
is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems
impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
