Inspired by opposition to the Iraq war, the Iraq Moratorium which originated in
California has now been organized in the Chagrin Valley. A small group of
Patriots for Change met on November 11th at the home of Becky Thomas to put
the details of a local campaign together. Our first demonstration took place Sat.
Nov. 17th in the Village of Chagrin Falls at 12:30 pm. We meet in front of
Township Hall, carrying homemade peace signs; we passed out information
about America’s involvement in the Middle East, and we will continue meeting the
third Saturday of every month until we begin to pull our troops out of Iraq.
We were pleased to include in our group of 15 a person from Cleveland Hts., one
from Russell, and several from Burton. Two Chagrin Falls high school students
joined us and said they would be back next month. The local newspapers
covered our demonstration, so we are looking forward to seeing ourselves in print
this week.
Elliot Berenson had these thoughts to share,” I think this went well for the first
event. I separated from the group and stood on the corner of Bell and got lots of
positive waves and thumbs up. I headed over to the little street that goes down to
the Gamekeepers and while on the corner, a guy stopped by and we had a long
discussion. He's with us all the way about ending the war and getting the troops
home, but supporting the troops, to him, seemed to mean something different,
maybe keeping them in the field with more material, etc. I hope he's among the
ones we'll be contacting for the future. All in all, it seemed all reaction was very
positive.”
We invite everyone to join us on the 3rd Saturday of
each month at 12:30. Organizations who have joined the Iraq Moratorium
nationally include labor unions, Iraq and Viet Nam veterans, student groups,
university professors, musicians, actors, and artists. For more info, email Becky
