The Peace Coalition was started in the fall of 2001. Our original intention was to provide a peaceful and thoughful response to the tragedy of 9-11. Since that time our work has evolved into a coalition working on many peace issues, most notably to end the war in Iraq. The Nashville Peace Coalition is working for peace in our hearts, in our communities, and in our world. We work nonviolently in alliance with like-minded people and organizations. In addition to our in-person meetings, we also have an online discussion group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/peace-coalition/ You are invited to participate in the online discussion, or attend our meetings, or both. Our meetings usually are on Tuesdays from 6 to 7:30 pm. Until further notice, we will be meeting in the Friends Meeting House, 530 26th Ave. N., Nashville, TN 37209-4137. http://nashvillefriendsmeeting.org/ http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=11099620772437586865&q=Friends+Meeting+House++530+26th+Ave.+N.&sll=36.157066,-86.815735&sspn=0.006295,0.006295&ie=UTF8&ll=36.157229,-86.815724&spn=0.007155,0.011051&z=16 We also have a web page at http://www.nashvillepeacecoalition.com/ http://ledahosting.com/~progrcal/Calcium40.pl?CalendarName=Nashville_Progressive_Calendar&EventID=3361&Date=2012%2F6%2F12 Weekly community dinner and movie/lecture series, catered by Martha Stamps, at West End United Methodist Church, 2200 West End Ave., Nashville 37203.
