San Mateo, Palo Alto, and San José

Wear eye-catching tee-shirts saying "Troops Home Now!" and stroll through busy malls and shopping areas! A unique and creative opportunity to reach out to hundreds of people in the holiday season with a message about creating real peace on earth -- now!

This will be a powerful message to shoppers to act on their beliefs that the war must end. We need as many sign-ups as possible to make this a noticeable effort that also gets into the local media. Please make every effort to attend. For more information, and to order your tee-shirt ($5 minimum donation), contact the Peninsula Peace & Justice Center. If you email, confirm how many shirts, what sizes, and which stroll you are going to attend -- Hillsdale, Stanford or San Jose shopping centers.
