Rena Guay and James Branum hosted what you might call an online vigil on Nov. 11 as part of Veterans for Peace’s campaign to Reclaim Armistice Day. Here’s the video:
The webcast originally aired live Nov. 11, 11AM CST and was sponsored by Just Future and Objector Church. Using music, poetry and other readings we commemorated a day originally set aside after WWI to work for peace, but which has morphed into what is tantamount to a glorification of war. We shared information about conscientious objection, GI resistance, and counter recruitment, referencing several organizations working on those issues.
