MOTHER'S DAY MARCH FOR PEACE CODEPINK Monthly Golden Gate Bridge Walk Sunday, May 13, 2012 Proclaim with us: "We Will Not Raise Our Children to Kill the Children of Other Mothers!" OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD, BUT OBAMA'S WARS DRONE ON Join us this Mother's Day to reclaim the original meaning behind this special day: To unite women of the world to organize and promote peaceful solutions to conflict. In response to the carnage of the Civil War, Julia Ward Howe's 1870 Mother's Day Proclamation declared: Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. 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........Disarm, Disarm! For creative readings of Mother's Day Proclamation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdI1mx9Q3sA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnwEK_8YxTw Howe called for women of all nations to work together for a more peaceful world. In honor of Julia Ward Howe, and in solidarity with all the mothers of the world who are suffering today from the carnage of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Palestine, and elsewhere in the world, we invite mothers and their loved ones to join us this Mother's Day to walk united against war. We will read Howe's Mother's Day Proclamation, and sing and rally for peace following the march. We will distribute flyers to educate the public about the history of Mother's Day. Wear lots of passionate pink or come as you are, but come in the spirit of unity in nonviolence. Bring signs ( 2x3 ft. or smaller)......wooden sticks/poles are now permitted.
