Vigils are public expressions of the grief, compassion and will of the people to heal from the horrors of Terrorism and War. The Coalition For World Peace is sponsoring a series of Vigils in various locations in the Los Angeles area.

Many groups are holding Vigils, but it is the specific intention of the Coalition For World Peace to bring community expressions of the need and desire for Peace forward at this time. The public is being asked to choose between an agenda of War and Violence that is guaranteed to result in thousands of innocent deaths, in fact, on our own innocent heads. Or we can seek a solution to the threats before us that ensure that there will be No More Innocent Victims Anywhere. Our weapon against terrorism cannot be violence, it must be resolute in its understanding that violence breeds more violence. Join Us.
