The Peace Movement Grows

Here in Northampton, MA, organizers counted 510 participants in the vigil for Cindy Sheehan, stretched out along Main Street on either side of City Hall. Most people had candles; some held signs. Turnout far exceeded expectations. Lots of friendly toots, and people waving and making peace signs out the windows of thier vehicles.

For minireports from around the country, check out this report on The Daily Kos, including at this writing, briefs from Brimfield, Easton, Lowell, Quincy, Orleans, Groton, Beverly, Newton and Somerville, MA. Also see this thread on Kos.

Walk In Brain has a report from Williamstown. Lynne, who organized the vigil in Lowell, posted her account at Left in Lowell.
