CODEPINK SACRAMENTO INVITES YOU TO A MOTHER’S DAY CELEBRATION

CodePINK Sacramento cordially invites you to join with us this Mother’s Day weekend, May 13th and 14th, as we reclaim the original meaning of Mother’s Day.

Few realize that Mother’s Day began not as a day to take Mom out for dinner, but “… as a day for women to rise and leave home…” to plan how to have peace in our world.

In honor of that spirit of creating peace, we have planned a two-day event to promote “Peace to Every Mother’s Child.”

A vigil will be held Saturday evening from 7:00-9:00pm, at the Viet Nam Memorial on the Capitol Grounds to honor those mothers whose sons and daughters have been killed in war. (Please note: Because candles are not allowed on the Grounds, bring small flashlights instead.)

Sunday we will gather again at the Memorial from 11:30 to 1:30 to reaffirm that peace is possible and we will bring it about.

For more information and to participate, please e-mail Betty at bettymerle@sbcglobal.net. Come join us!


PS Last year’s Mother’s Day at the Memorial, CodePINK launched its campaign to bring home our California National Guard – AJR36 – legislation we hope will be adopted by this Mother’s Day. If not, we will demand that it be adopted immediately and we will act accordingly.

Time: Sunday, May 14, 2006 - 11:30am PST
