Tucson WILPF branch members took part in a “No War with Iran” demonstration on the first Saturday in January, in conjunction with other January 4th protests across the United States.

Longtime WILPF member and World Beyond War President Leah Bolger (photo, left) gave a moving talk at the press conference, which was covered by several news stations. Mary Somers from WILPF Tucson also spoke.

The event was organized by the Tucson Anti-War Committee and sponsored by the local Veterans for Peace chapter.

The Raging Grannies sang several songs as the crowd of over 100 people stood on all four corners of the intersection of Speedway and Stone Avenue.

Participating in the demonstration were steering committee members Catherine Mullaugh, Mary and Andrew Somers, Deborah Livingston, and Kay Davis, who is also a member of Veterans for Peace.
