About: Women and men are welcome to stand with us. We stand for nonviolence, whether in war, in our community, or in the home. We hold banners saying, “Women in Black” and “Peace, Justice, and Mercy” and offer information about our mission only if asked. The vigil is not silent, but rather is a time for community and friendship. At the end of each vigil, we gather at “Circle” and share a few short thoughts about peace.
