July 4 Fasting for Peace

Yesterday I participated in a “virutal hunger strike” in solidarity with the Troops Home Fast project.  See photos of actions around the country.

Common Dreams posted an article last night about the fast at the White House which began yesterday. In the photo below is Father Louis Vitale.  I crossed the line and was arrested with him at the Nevada Test site in May.
