PETALUMANS
AGAINST WAR
Welcome to the website of Petalumans Against War. This is the name given to the hundreds of people in and around Petaluman who joined Laure and Jesse Reichek's spontaneous idea to take out a full-page anti-war ad in the local paper, the Petaluma Argus-Courier, in October 2002, and who are currently working on many other local anti-war projects.
Petalumans Against War (PAW) is a local, unaffiliated group of citizens of Petaluma, CA, population 55,000. We have no director, no steering committee, no formal membership or meetings. Individuals are enaged in projects that they originate. They plan, organize and implement projects which say NO WAR. They seek help from the group and, in turn, give help to others projects. PAW helps each project to the extent that it is wanted, with website, listsings, money for materials, printing, etc. The group as a whole, thus says NO WAR in a variety of ways and often. Our voice is amplified by the many times and ways we say NO WAR.
Contact: Laure (707) 762-3360
