I am pleased to see that some “mainstream” media coverage of CODEPINK’s vigilance on Capitol Hill even if it is in the form of an ABC blog.
Things and thinks are rapidly changing here in the heartland. I’m beginning to stick my head out into the community after the time spent with my mother during the last few months before her passing and the following weeks of closing up a very full house.
Sentiment on the streets is decidedly pro-peace… a first ever Peace Float was cheered on in the Three Rivers Festival Parade in Fort Wayne, Indiana last weekend. This weekend there are Peace Church meetings and on Monday CODEPINK’s own Mz. Zanne will be at an action at Evan Bayh’s office in Fort Wayne. She will also be stopping in South Bend and Hammond.
I’m tempted to leave early and not attend the BlogHer Conference in Chicago so I can caravan with Zanne, but I really want to attend that conference and meet all those wonderful “be the media” women. And truth be told I still have a couple weeks of stuff to get done here.
Anyway the float shown below is evidence of some very good news. Do check out The Fort Wayne Agitator for up to the minute (it seems) info on peace happenings in NE Indiana.
