Women’s Solidarity for Peace TODAY

I've been drowning so much with the NEWS TODAY and my INNER Issues- my monthly OB check up and the kids need their visit to the Pedia. Also, nasa barangay kaya ako! Oh, make that "pina-Barangay ako"! But,hell yeah, we've RECONCILED EVERYTHING Basta pasulatin at palakarin niya lang ako! SOLB!

It may be an escape but hey, I WILL BE resonating HERE! TODAY ,Wednesday, November 16 · 3:30pm - 6:00pm, at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani Quezon Avenue, Quezon City, Philippines

Women say NO to WAR and assert that peace and justice must be won by means of PEACE! Once again, after the tragic events of conflict in Basilan and Zamboanga Sibugay, women and their
families have fled their homes and communities because of the outbreak of fighting.

We are doing this solidarity action for peace, to raise WOMEN’S PEACE VOICES above the din of war and to counter calls to “eradicate the enemy once and for all”. We want to listen to the voices of women affected by the conflict. We also hope to raise funds for relief goods for those who still
fear to return to their homes.

We invite ALL WOMEN who want to show their solidarity for peace to join in this open peace action. We encourage you to speak out, give a one minute statement of support for the peace processes.

We request you to bring a shawl of scarf that can be donated to the rummage sale ( for relief funds) but that we will use for the Peace Solidarity Ritual during the event. (Other items for relief or for the rummage sale will also be very gratefully received.)

Let us gather women’s forces , for peace power still to be imagined!
