 created to unite women of the world to organize and promote peaceful 
 solutions to conflict.  (More history of Mother's Day below)\nThis Mother's 
 Day please join us on our 10th anniversary of walking for peace on 
 Mother’s Day on the Golden Gate Bridge.  Bring your mothers and

 to honor our history, and celebrate our passion for PEACE!\n\nWear pink or 
 come as you are, but come in the spirit of unity for nonviolence.\nBring 
 signs ( 2x3 ft. or smaller)......wooden sticks/poles are permitted, but due 
 to winds, it is often easier to hold signs without poles.\n\n11:45 am:

 Bridge.\nParking available on all 4 "corners",  just remember to take the 
 last exit on hwy 101 as you approach the bridge, or the first exit after

 the carnage of the Civil War, Julia Ward Howe's 1870 Mother's Day 
 Proclamation declared:               \n              Our sons shall not be 
 taken from us to unlearn\n              All that we have been able to teach 
 them of charity, mercy and patience.\n              We, the women of one 
 country, will be too tender of those of another country\n              To 
 allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs........Disarm, Disarm!\n\nFor 
 creative readings of the full Mother's Day Proclamation:\n
