Armistice Day was founded after World War I as “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated.” After World War II Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a day for honoring militarism and war.

2-3 pm: Join Bay Ridge Peace Action at 86th St & 4th Ave, Brooklyn,  to distribute flyers and white poppies.

Remember the human, environmental toll of war. See this op-ed in Syracuse Post Standard, by a member of the Syracuse Peace Council.

See Veterans for Peace website for an overview of Armistice Day, resources, and ways in which you can take action.
