DESCRIPTION:Mother’s Day Call for a General Congress of Women for Peace  We continue 
 to honor the origins of Mother’s Day on Sunday May 8th in Sacramento. 
 Embracing our Mothers’ pride & fierce determination to end all war, we 
 will convene a “General Congress of Women without limit of 
 nationality”. ALL WE WANT FOR MOTHER’S DAY IS OUR TROOPS HOME FROM IRAQ 
 NOW. We will begin the call to Governor Schwarzenegger & our State 
 Legislators to bring our California National Guard home from Iraq by Labor 
 Day, 2005.    WHEN:  Sunday May 8th, from 4:00-6:00p.m.    WHERE:  At the 
 Vietnam War Memorial on the capitol grounds in Sacramento  WHAT: A General 
 Congress of Women without limit to nationality  WHY:  To reclaim the 
 origins of Mother’s Day and to begin calling our National Guard home from 
 Iraq by Labor  As we gather in front of the Vietnam War Memorial, we will 
 read Julia Ward Howe’s proclamation, as timely & inspirational today as 
 it was in 1870.  "We, the women of one country,  Will be too tender of 
 those of another country  To allow our sons to be trained to injure 
 theirs....  From the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with  Our 
 own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm!  The sword of murder is not the balance of 
 justice."  Blood does not wipe our dishonor,  Nor violence indicate 
 possession....."  Julia Ward Howe, Mother’s Day Proclamation, 1870  We 
 ask women to bring our ideas for future actions for peace and to end war - 
 such as the call to return our National Guard - and share with each other 
 as we continue to build a strong, active women’s movement for peace & 
 justice.  Sponsors – partial list: CodePink: Women for Peace; Gold Star 
 Families for Peace; Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors; 
 Grandmothers for Peace.  For more information, to volunteer call
