Fast for Peace
As part of the Troops Home Fast campaign, Cindy Sheehan, Code Pink, Gold Star Families for Peace and Global Exchange launched a rolling program of fasts on July 4. So far more than 3000 activists, politicians and celebrities such as Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Danny Glover, Bonnie Raitt and Willie Nelson have joined the fast. The planned end to the rolling fasts is Sept. 21, the International Peace Day, when activists throughout the country will initiate a week of nonviolent actions against the war as part of the Declaration of Peace. www.TroopsHomeFast.org
