I see that I claimed to have been apart of the Vermont Peace Movement form 1882 to 1984. Of course that should be reading as “1982 to 1984” I am so sorry that this has has not corrected until now. Truly, Peace, Melevav

Really the Raid of June 22nd 1984 was not a Police raid but a misinformed “State Raid”. The police were only doing their duty as the esteemed public servants that they are. Those that wanted to harm us were making […]

I was very involved with the Vermont Peace and Social Justice from 1982 to 1984 and not from 1882 to 1984. That would put me pretty ancient! But this is the year of my 50th High School graduation! The year of the […]
