A Message from PeaceSmiths, Inc. about Occupy Wall Street
PeaceSmiths supports Occupy Wall Street in New York City. Our organization stands for peace, justice, and the environment.
We are excited about the way Occupy Wall Street is using nonviolent demonstrations and democratic decision-making to address economic injustice, social injustice, and the need for less militarism.
PeaceSmiths fully supports the 99%!
