DC: Camp Out Now

Peace of the Action will be setting up Camp Out Now on the lawn of the Washington Monument beginning March 13th and this new peace camp will be the launching pad for daily direct actions against the seat of our government; A government that is involved in so many wars, invasions, bombings and other foreign violence that it is hard to keep track.”

There is a new peace coalition in town called Peace of the Action. Peace of the Action is the brainchild of Peace Mom, Cindy Sheehan, who has been striving to make the concept of peace a reality since her son, Casey, was killed in Iraq in April 2004. When asked if it is “legal” to set up Camp in Washington, DC, Ms. Sheehan was emphatic in stating, “Camping on the lawn of the Washington Monument has ‘questionable’ legality but our actions have absolute moral authority; just as the state’s actions have apparent legality, but inherent immorality.”
