WILPF San Jose also was a co-sponsor for a Santa Clara County Together We Vote Block Party and participated in the research action on Ranked Choice Voting. Our gaggle of Raging Grannies offered songs on voting and were quite well received.
WILPF San Jose members continue to attend the local weekly Friday Peace Vigil in coalition with other peace groups in the area.
