A peace tour is coming through Racine this week. Here's the details from RCPJ:
The "Witness Against War 2008" peace march is organized by Voices for Creative Nonviolence (VCNV). It will begin in Chicago on July 12 and conclude in St. Paul, MN on August 31 in time for the start of the 2008 Republican Convention. Marchers will arrive in Racine on Thursday 17 July, participate in various activities on Friday, and leave for Milwaukee on Saturday 19 July.
Marchers will be the guests of the Racine Coalition for Peace and Justice and of the local community. All are invited to participate in at least a portion of the march.
