March to Peace

During the month of March we invite Unitarian Universalist congregations to join together in an unprecedented March to Peace. As we mark the 5th anniversary of the Iraq war, we hope to register the commitment of 250 of our congregations, nearly 25%, to bring peace into their worship and their worship into the world. Participating congregations will be listed on the UUA website (unless they prefer otherwise). Please register your commitments below. What will your congregation do in the March to Peace?

• March 1: Peacemaking CSAI comments deadline
• March 7: Interfaith Witness for Peace (Washington, DC)

• March 19: 5th Anniversary of Iraq war
