Postponed: Women’s March – Buffalo/WNY; plus …
716-332-3904 1/19/19
Dear Friends,
Just another email to make sure you got the news that THE WOMEN’S MARCH – BUFFALO/WNY IS POSTPONED due to the snow, cold, and high winds (especially in Niagara Square). (We didn’t schedule it for today like other marches in order to enable people to attend WMs in DC or Seneca Falls, and still come to ours! The weather dictated otherwise.) The movement is ongoing – see previous email, please.
You can put whatever energy you wanted to use for the March to contacting Senator McConnell at (202) 224-2541 or on a form on his website, ie, at https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/
index.cfm/contact?p=ContactForm and tell him he needs to get people paid again for their work. Our federal workers are hurting and need their paychecks – at our four international bridges, in airports, … everywhere federal workers are not getting paid!
And you can tell he-who-shall-not-be-named in the White House the same thing at 202-456-1111, or https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
Hopefully we can go to the “Follow His Footsteps” MLK Celebration tomorrow 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm, at Kleinhans Music Hall, 3 Symphony Circle, Buffalo, NY 14201, as the plows will have had more time, and it is indoors!
Lastly, you can – as we will – contemplate the importance of #womenswave and #UnitetheStruggles; of Equity, Freedom from Violence, and Reverence for the Environment; and pray or put your concentrated attention and intention to the strength of will we need to support Unarmed Truth and Unconditional Love for each other and for all the Creation.
We hope to see you Saturday 1/26
– at Women In Black Noon-1pm at Bidwell&Elmwood;
– at Rebellion Day 1 – Extinction Rebellion, US, 1pm at Bidwell&Elmwood;
– at the WNY Peace Center quarterly Membership meeting, 2-4pm at 1272 Delaware Ave (entrance & pkg round back of bldg; all can attend but only members can vote).
Please mark your calendars for Monday, 1/28, when the LASC Coffeehouse, 7-9pm at the lounge of the Science Hall of Canisius Col (Main & Jefferson), will have Canisius students reporting on their experiences in working on current immigration issues, both on the US/Mexico border and at the Batavia Detention Facility. It’s sure to be a compelling presentation!
See more listings on the website (wnypeace.org) and in previous email posts.
Peace, Thanks, Solidarity, and yes Love.
