Dear Friend of Peace, Social, Economic, Political and Environmental Justice,

Veteran’s for Peace is in the process of organizing our fifth annual St. Patrick’s Day People’s Parade. Over the last four years we have managed to put a few thousand like-minded citizens marching through the streets of South Boston after the main parade. We would like to increase our numbers this year. No matter our individual areas of struggle, we are all battling the same corporatocracy that has bought out our government and mainstream media. No matter the issue, we are all in this together. We must take back our democracy!

We would love to have your organization become a part of this important event. The only way to get our government and media to take notice of our demands is to put large numbers of people in the street. We need to work together. Our strength is in our numbers.

This is also a fun and festive activity with music, dancing and lots of energy. Bring your banner, make a sign, raise your voice, and spread the word. The people are organizing! The people are marching!

Fourteen years after it was initially proposed, the nation’s first offshore wind farm is in trouble. Relentless lawsuits by oil and gas billionaire Bill Koch have left the Cape Wind project hanging on by a thread. The project’s fate rests in the hands of Marcy Reed, President of National Grid in Massachusetts, who has been a vocal supporter of Cape Wind in the past. By honoring National’s Grid pledge to buy 50% Cape Wind’s power, she can keep the project alive!

Join us on Saturday, February 28 as we call on Marcy Reed to save Cape Wind!
