Lake Street – Marshall Avenue bridge spanning the Mississippi River

Marie Braun of Women Against Military Madness was instrumental in starting the weekly vigil on the Lake Street/Marshall Avenue Bridge, which has persisted as a constant peace presence for 23 years, beginning with the US/NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. For many years Marie and John created the original signs for the vigilers to hold. The practice continues as people crossing the bridge in cars, trucks and buses, on bicycles and on foot are informed or reminded of the vast human costs of US wars, sanctions and military occupations.

Today’s vigil will be a chance to honor and remember Marie, who passed away on June 27 at the age of 87. Please join us at our weekly vigil to share memories and call for a more peaceful world.
