Kansas & Missouri UUs Work to Reclaim Mothers Day as a Day
for Peace
Mothers Day 2008 - May 11, 2008, 3:00 - Overland Park, KS
Are you a Mother? Have you ever had a Mother?
If you can answer yes to one or both of these questions, you can be a part
of the Mothers Day celebration as it was originally intended, a voice for
peace and against war. Julia’s Voice is sponsoring an event to stand
for peace at 3:00 on Sunday, May 11 in Overland Park.
Julia's Voice, a group of “mothers and others” is dedicated to reclaiming Mothers Day as it was intended by Unitarian Julia Ward Howe. The group is guided by Howe’s vision to establish a day to promote peace and speak out against war. Howe was an active abolitionist, suffragette, poet and author of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

On May 11, 2008, an event will be help to honor the work
of mothers to teach, in Howe’s words, “patience,
charity and mercy”. The event, Moms Against the War will stand for
peace along the public sidewalk at 3:00 in Overland Park on 95th
Street between Nieman and Quivera, in Overland Park, rain or shine.
This is also the location of the district office of Kansas Senator Sam Brownback.
Send a message for peace by standing with fellow Unitarian Universalists. Join with us as we standing shoulder to shoulder, lining the sidewalks of this busy intersection and with “mothers and others”, Julia Ward Howe re-enactors, musicians and other special guests.
