Although the national press is getting swept up in the frenzy to attack Iran, things are happening at the local level which are going under their radar. Voorheesville, NY has a park in the center of the village with a large clock and a peace vigil once a week for about an hour in the early evening. People show up, hold signs, hold candles, and invite passing vehcles to honk if they want to show support. There was a lot of honking, and friendly waves.
Over two dozen people turned out tonight, including Jim Massey of Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Dr. Dahlia Wasfi. They were both in Syracuse last weekend, along with more than 3,000 people.
After the vigil, Dr. Wasfi spoke briefly about the Syracuse event. She said that when she introduced a contingent from IVAW, the crowd rose to their feet and applauded for over 5 minutes.
There's a rising tide in the heartland. What's happening where you are? What's going to be happening? Spread the word.
