Mother’s Day was originally started after the Civil War, as a protest to the carnage of that war, by women who had lost their sons. Women around the country this Mothers Day weekend will hold activities to promote peace. Also, outside the White House, May 13-14, 3PM-3PM, will be a special all-night vigil. Come for the whole vigil or for a few hours! Sing, dance, drum, bond, laugh, cry, and hug. Write letters to Laura Bush to appeal to her own mother’s heart, and read them aloud. Discuss new ideas for ending the war and building peace. In the final two hours on Sunday, the vigil will be joined by some amazing celebrity actresses, singers, writers — and moms.
