Sacramento Counter-Recruitment Activities


This Mother's Day, California women reclaimed the original sentiment of the holiday by demanding, "All we want for Mother's Day is the Troops home NOW!" in front of the Vietnam War Memorial at our state capitol grounds in Sacramento.

Co-sponsors for this event included: Gold Star Families for Peace, Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors, Raging Grannies, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Grandmothers for Peace, Grey Panthers, and many more.

 

Grandmothers, mamas and daughter unite in demanding "Troops Home Now!".
