King of Prussia, PA - Focus on Peace held its first action the "Sign Wave for Peace on the Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq" on Saturday, March 19, 2011. It was a success with five peace lovers coming out to mark the 8th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. We stood on a very busy street corner in King of Prussia, PA. Our message seemed well received there compared to other places I've done this kind of peace advocacy at. There were many "honks for peace" and few insults.
Focus on Peace is a politically neutral peace movement. The website states:
Our purpose is to have a peace movement that welcomes people of all ideologies, creeds, and beliefs. One that makes everyone feel not only comfortable but a part of the movement. No one should feel that they are endorsing someone else's political agenda when standing up for peace. To this end we have only one focus: ending the wars abroad.

Congratulations on your first action. A pro-peace organization is a much better idea than an anti-war organization, because it focuses on peace rather than war. There's an old saying: "Keep your mind on what you want and off what you don't want." Well done.

Thanks, Walt!
Yes, being pro peace rather than anti war is important these days. What really separates us from the rest is the politically neutral stance. I'm getting a lot of positive feedback about that from all over the political spectrum.
