Listen: The Key to Peace
8 March 2K6 - International Women's Day -- WOMEN SAY NO TO WAR!
This is an event HRP No. 5 hosted in South Pasadena, California. A day in Garfield Park featured much family fun, our peace parade, and a performance of Dr. Suess' "The Zax." Dr. Hilary Bradbury-Huang, member of the Pasadena City College board was our guest as we honor 2006 "Women as Decisionmakers" and her recent election victory.
My personal reason for organizing this event, I entitled, LISTEN: THE KEY TO PEACE, was to protest Secretary of State Rice's leadership and the United States' refusal to engage equally and with respect the new democratically elected government of the Palestinian people. I do not have to agree with them, but I must respect them as equals, and, at a minimum, as equal as their formerly elected government. "... all men are created equal ..." is a governing principle of this American.
peace & harmony,
elaine
'freedom must be exercised to stay in shape!'
