Boston, Mass.-Dec. 31, 2012:
About 20 peace activists braved the cold and held an anti-war informational
vigil in Copley Square right before the Boston First Night New Years Eve 2013 parade. Stop the War and Free Bradley Manning stickers were passed out to the crowds passing by, as well as very visible peace banners and signs displayed.

FIRST NIGHT AGAINST
THE WARS!
A New Year’s Resolution for 2013:
A YEAR OF PEACE,
NOT WARS AND OCCUPATIONS!
As another year of US and Israeli wars and occupations comes to a close leaving tens of thousands dead and injured and many more living in terror from Gaza to Pakistan, we call on all people of conscience to remember the suffering caused in our name and to join the struggle for peace. Only mass outrage and action can change this deadly path of violence. Join us as we make our voices heard in the new year and make the following demands:
Stop the drones!
No cut-backs!
Stop surveillance!
No U.S. intervention in Syria or Iran!
No unconditional aid to Israel!
Contact us to learn more and to join the struggle to build a broad-based peace movement in Boston and beyond.
