Since it is the workingclass who die in all wars, why are there no vigils planned for 24th and Mission (BART station); Geary and Webster (the Safeway store area); Revere & Silver Avenue (Thurgood Marshall High School); Phelan & Ocean Ave (City College)?

So long as the workingclass is not involved with these vigils, these wars will continue. Only when people stop fighting these wars do they stop. Please, from now on, hold these peace vigils and demonstrations in the workingclass communities which not only do the dying in the wars, they do the dying early at home due to lack of social services as this country puts guns before butter.
by There was a vigil at 24th BAART
When I got the email, checked the locations the day before, there were at least 50 people registered for that one, don't know about the others
