Working For Peace In Boise Idaho

I am a proud founding member of the Idaho Peace Coallition in Boise Idaho.

More than 200 events will take place across the nation for the
2015 Campaign Nonviolence Week of Nonviolent Action.
Here in Idaho, the Idaho Peace Coalition and our friends have a full week of events planned.
