FRIDAY, MAY 9: DEPT OF PEACE ACTIVITIES
WHAT: Lobbying for the establishment of the Dept of Peace
On Friday, May 9 members and friends of Wage Peace will visit, as a group, the three local offices of our representatives in Congress and the two local offices of the two U. S. Senators from Florida. Members of the group will ask our representatives (probably through a staff person) to support legislation creating a cabinet level Department of Peace and to deliver Mothers' Day pies that will symbolize a proposed "peace of the pie" budget for this new department the requests just 1% of the money budgeted for for the Department of Defense.
For complete details of this pre-Mothers' Day program in support of this legislation, see www.thepeacealliance.org/.
WHEN: Friday, May 9
