PEACE VIGILS
All of the vigils listed welcome any peace-loving person to join them.
It is wise to call the sponsors to learn specific rules for signs,

REGULAR MEETINGS
SOUND OUT! Community Singing Group for Peace and Justice
We are folks from the community who get together weekly for
lively practices, learning and enjoying songs of peace, freedom, justice
and harmony. We also sing at parades, events, gatherings in the
Peninsula area.
Please join us for the heartwarming fellowship of music. All are welcome
- no experience needed. We have song books and practice CD's so it's
easy to learn songs and sweet harmonies. Please let us know if we can
sing at your event, school, church - maybe even in your kitchen (snacks
welcome). Info: 831 - 643-1776

Our objective
is to end corporate personhood. We act locally to educate citizens about
this subject and advocate on local issues involving corporations. We
believe that the rights in the Constitution and the Amendments should
apply to all people but not to corporations. When corporations gain
rights under the Constitution they become more powerful than humans and
we wish to reclaim the power of “We the People.”
