Some 20 WILPF members, from Philadelphia, Boston, Vermont and a few from farther afield gathered to hear reports on a range of political issues, all in the bucolic setting of Robin Lloyd’s family farm in Rochester, Vermont.
Participants posed for a solidarity photo to send with Paki Wieland to El Salvador to share with women incarcerated because of miscarriages. They harvested vegetables for salads; the weather obliged with a few light rains, leading to rainbows almost every day.
Reports included six who attended the Centennial events in The Hague, Ellen Thomas and Carol Urner on nuclear weapons abolition, Hattie Nestel on stopping the gas pipelines, and others on radical politics, racism, ISIS, the environment, women and imprisonment, and more.
