On Sunday April 8, the Highland Park vigil held its third consecutive "Resurrect Peace" vigil. As we’ve also done in the past, we shared a meal with local homeless.

As always, our demonstration addressed a variety of issues. Besides our call to “resurrect peace,” our messages included “resurrect the planet,” “resurrect justice,” and “resurrect democracy.” And even though this was a holiday, we put up our pictures of war victims. Hopefully this reminded people that not everyone was joyful on this day.

Altogether, at least 12 activists were involved in demonstrating and/or bringing food. Five to seven homeless people ate with us.

The food included Easter eggs, some of which had peace symbols on them. There was also an Easter egg hunt.

The traffic was heavier than we we’ve been used to on Easter, and the reaction was about 99% positive.
