Hi there! Recovery is proceeding on pace. I can type. For a bit. And I returned to work.

Since the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq is approaching, there are several events coming up over the next couple weeks. Here's one:

Share your Visions of Peace and Justice with the thousands of people who will gather on March 18 in Balboa Park.

The Peace Wall will be an extended display of art, text, handwritten comments, statistical and political analyses, pictures, crafts, etc. from individuals young and old and organizations from around San Diego County on all aspects of the Iraq War/Occupation and peace and nonviolence in general. Each contributor to the Peace Wall is responsible for putting up and taking down their sections.

If you would like to have your wall listed in the March 18 Activists Directory contact Kelly King's email: Kelly_King_@hotmail.com

For ideas on how to easily make a section of wall from a cardboard box, see below.

Sections of wall do not have to reflect peaceful subject matter. All peace and justice issues are welcome. For example, Individuals or groups are creating sections of wall on the following topics:

Picasso's Guernica adapted to Iraq
Children and Nonviolence
The Death Penalty
Protest at the White House; add your message of protest to a mural of the White house
San Diego Peace Candidates and the Peace Score Card (voting history of Congress Members on the war)
Picasso's Child with a Dove
Diego Rivera's La Siesta
Genocide-Rwanda and Sudan

Suggestions for wall topics:

Immigration/ The Border
Free Trade/Human Rights
Civil-Rights and the War, including the "Un-Patriot Act"
Impeachment
Repeal of the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" Policy in the Military
Reproductive justice
Labor and the Peace Movement (or Women and the Peace Movement or the Students As a Peace Movement, etc.)
Defense Budget Issues - the Cost of the War
How Parents Opt Out of the Provisions of the "No Child Left behind Act"
Comparison of Exit Strategies
History of the Peace Movement

The Peace Wall is a Project of SDCPJ and the San Diego Puppet Insurgency. For More information or for Help creating and building your section of the Peace Wall contact Antonia at antonia@davisworld.com or 619-265-1199.

Use a large box with a wide base so it can easily stand on it's own and provides you with 4 working surfaces
A box with little depth can be cut to open out "theater style" The open "doors" will keep the box from falling over.
A box can also be cut to open like a book. the "covers" open holding the display upright. Cardboard pages can be added for more display surface and further stability.
