How we began...
Our initial anti-war demonstration was on Friday, January 31, 2003. Ever since, we have continued our street demonstrations for peaceful solutions to continued violence and for social justice. Everyone is welcome to join us on Fridays between 4 and 5 pm. at the corner of Miller Ave. and Camino Alto in Mill Valley.
Since those beginning days we have expanded our activism and educational programs in response to changing social, political and environmental conditions. This website is one way that we reach out to our members and the larger community to report on our work and to invite others to join us.
