* DAILY VIGILS:

* 24-hour-per-day vigil for peace, justice, and global nuclear disarmament in Lafayette Park along Pennsylvania Avenue; if the park is closed, we will be waiting for it to reopen on the sidewalk beside St. John's Church, at 16th and H St NW. Write to us!

* Catholic Worker-sponsored prayer vigils:

* Every Friday from noon to 1:00 p.m., on the White House sidewalk across from Lafayette Park, to end sanctions against Iraq.
* every Monday from 7 to 8 a.m., at the Pentagon South entrance, for an end to the arms race (since the 1980's). IMPORTANT NOTE! Pentagon security has been arresting people for merely holding signs or praying since six people poured blood on eight columns in Spring 2001. It is suggested you wear your message as a T-Shirt or pins and plan to stand in silent witness.
