International Peace Day
Candlelight Procession in Manchester Thursday, September 21, 6:30pm
Manchester, Vt., September 7, 2017—
Jack’s Group, a local Campaign Nonviolence affiliate, invites people to take action on International Peace Day on September 21st during Nonviolence Week.
Gather with Jack’s Group at 6:30pm to be part of a silent, candlelight procession mourning what has been lost since the 2016 election followed by a joyful celebration giving thanks for what is good. Bring lights, candles and signs of mourning and celebration and symbols of peace.
The group will meet at 6:30pm at the Manchester Town Green, Route 7 and Center Hill, commit to nonviolent peaceful action, and proceed along Main Street to Factory Point Park. Each person will carry a sign or symbol conveying their most deeply felt loss. At Factory Point Park there will be a short ceremony with music.
The return procession to the Green will be a noisy, joyful celebration of what we are most thankful for.
Campaign Nonviolence (CNV) is a long-term grassroots movement building a world culture that is free from war, poverty, racism, environmental destruction, and the epidemic of violence.

CNV’s goal is to organize 1,000 marches, rallies, vigils and other events to create a culture of nonviolence throughout the U.S. and worldwide.
Together, we will stand up for the preservation of the richness and beauty of our planet and the rights of all sentient beings – connecting the dots between war, the refugee crisis, poverty, racism, climate change, environmental destruction, deportations, mass incarceration and the epidemic of violence in which we live.
