Every Friday, starting at Pioneer Square in Portland, OR – a group of people from Portland Peaceful Response Coalition, Portland’s No War Drum Corp, Veteran’s for Peace Chapter 72 and CodePink Portland march in a 5 square block while holding signs, chanting against this war, all to the beautiful sound of No War Drum Corp. Drums… there’s something so pure, so strong about them.
Glimpses from the rally. It’s so hard to capture on film what your heart feels.
This time my family came along. Danni and Wesley made and decorated their own drums. Wesley even took off his most treasured, must-have with him always item – his CD player – and tuned in.
There were tons of cars honking, people flashing us the peace sign and thumbs up. People sitting down in diners smiled at us and waved at the kids.
Someone brought their axe
(in this case, not a guitar)
“Teach your children well.”
They ARE our National Treasures.
Stop the killing!
