As much as any other town in the U.S., my town, Charlottesville, Virginia, has failed in recent years when it comes to opposing wars. We used to be a leader, passing early resolutions through our city council -- inspiring others -- to advocate against wars in Iraq or Iran, against armed drones, telling Congress to move funding to human and environmental needs, divesting public dollars from weapons companies, ridding local police of weapons of war, etc. Peace rallies were not rare occurrences.
At long last we now have an event planned to advocate and strategize for peace in Ukraine, one that will be livestreamed for the world to see at cvilleukraine.org. Many towns are ahead of mine, but many more have yet to get started. Let's help them.
