Janet Weil's Mother's Day Blogs, 2006



Janet Weil joined Bay Area CODEPINK in late spring 2003, inspired by CODEPINK's emphasis on joy during these turbulent and often tragic times. She has marched in many CODEPINK contingents in demonstrations in San Francisco, Oakland and lately in Walnut Creek, CA, and took the CODEPINK vigil banner, along with Catherine Hourcade, another CODEPINKer, to Yosemite Park for a fundraiser on Memorial Day weekend, 2005.

This is Janet's first trip to Washington, D.C. to spend Mother’s Day with CODEPINK's Vigil outside the White House. Scroll below to read her blogs and be sure to post messages to her!
