Photo is from the rally in DC last weekend. This picture was taken by Emily M., a local high school student who went to the rally on the buses with over 100 others. I hope I have time to write more later, particularly about the meeting the Peace Coalition had with the staff of our newly elected Representative. The meeting was here in Asheville, and some folks meet with the staff up in DC. But here is quote from our US Representative, and I think a hopeful sign:
Shuler: “It’s an escalation and a continuation of what we’ve heard two or three times before,” the freshman lawmaker said after the speech. “I feel it’s not the right approach.”
