New Haven Sunday Vigil for Peace and Justice
RESIST THIS ENDLESS WAR!
The wars being fought and the injustices being perpetrated throughout this country and the world are all parts of one war being waged on many fronts so that enormous wealth and power can be concentrated in the hands of a very few people.
Join this vigil for peace and justice, ongoing since 1999.
Resist fascism now. Before it’s too late.
