Ribbons of Resistance

October 2005 Update:
Our Ribbons of Resistance project was highlighted in a UUWorld online magazine article about the September protest in Washington, D.C. Our own Libby J was interviewed.
Ribbons of Resistance is a project of the social action committee.... Are you against the U.S. war and occupation of Iraq? Do you want to send your own message to the White House?
Our Ribbons of Resistance project is distributing and collecting antiwar messages from the members and friends of UU congregations all across Arizona and the route to Washington D.C. Five of us deliver your peace messages when we travel there to participate in the massive mobilization against the war called by United for Peace and Justice, September 24-26, 2005.
