Four vigils in 4 days

 

The view outside our front door on Saturday morning

 

I was involved in four days of vigils in a row. On Thursday we had our weekly 'No war with Russia' vigil in downtown Brunswick that we've been doing since mid-February. Then on Friday (in the cold rain) we had our weekly peace vigil along the town green in Brunswick. On Saturday we did our last Advent season weekly vigil at Bath Iron Works shipyard (in the wet snow). This is where the Navy Aegis destroyers are built. Currently they are working on six of them. Then on Sunday friends Pat Taub and Lisa Savage organized a 'No war with Russia' vigil in the heart of Portland.

Are you all still holding a weekly demonstration on Thursdays in Brunswick against war with Russia? If not, when did you stop? I'm asking for Crowd Counting Consortium, an academic research project that makes open data on U.S. protest activity.

Yes still going from noon to 1pm each Thursday in front of Tontine Mall. Now focusing on Gaza as well at the protests.
