Many of us are not in much of a holiday mood this year. The plethora of holiday bazaars and sales might not hold much appeal for as we see the injustice, violence, greed and nastiness exploding all around us.
If you need to do some holiday shopping anyway and want to support people fighting the good fight, come to the annual Women Speak Out for Peace and Justice Holiday Peace Festival and Bazaar at Pilgrim Church in Tremont. You can purchase cards, calendars craft items and the ubiquitous poinsettias. There’ll be information tables from various peace and justice groups if you want to learn how to get behind a cause close to your heart, and a bake sale and lunch items if you need fortification. And don’t we all these days! Admission is free.

Women Speak Out for Peace and Justice sponsors a Luncheon to celebrate International Women’s Day. March 11 from 1-3 at Kan Zaman 1616 West 25th Street Cleveland. Come enjoy a fresh Middle Eastern Lunch, meet old and new friends, gather information, win door prize(s) and honor two outstanding women: Marge Townsend an activist for Peace and Justice, safe food and a farmer and Hanan Mahmoud a teacher/counselor and founding member of the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. Both will be presented with the Ione Biggs Human Rights Award. In these troubled times, coming together creates strength and renews our hope.

Thank you to all those who attended our traditional celebration of International Women’s Day. It was a grand gathering of activists. Our guest performers with music poetry and dance were superb, admired by all and caused more than a few wet eyes. Our honored guests received the Ione Biggs Humanitarian Award with humility and gratefulness. Both Marge Townsend and Hanan Mahmoud warmed the crowd with their stories and each received a standing ovation. True to activism guest were asked to sign a petition and write a letter. Again thank you to everyone who made it a great event. Last we must thank KanZaman for a delicious, fresh and healthy lunch. Stay tuned , we are planning a Mother’s Day event.
