Love, Grandma: Activists Write.
We speak out! Grandmothers Against the War announce the publication of LOVE GRANDMA: ACTIVISTS WRITE, a collection of letters and poetry for grandchildren of all ages by women and men committed to a better, peaceful world. We hope younger generations will be moved by why and how we became activists. We hope they will be encouraged to take an active role in the movements affecting their lives and times.
Grandmothers Against the War invited others to write letters about their efforts to build a better, peaceful world, efforts that began in the twentieth century and continue now in this century. Contributions came from around the nation and from across the seas. These personal statements, along with sketches from our own family photographs, became the paperback volume LOVE, GRANDMA.
LOVE, GRANDMA reveals the hearts and the lives of people born in the United States and of those who came to our country seeking new lives. Whatever their background, they are all bound together by their devotion to constructive, non-violent actions to bring about peace and social change, to build a better future for all the children of the world.
The 108-page book is available directly from our on-line publisher, lulu.com . It is full of stories that can inspire and encourage, and serve as a memoir of our times.
The book is $7.50 plus shipping.

By distributing the book widely we want to persuade people to take action against the ongoing war and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. In readings in libraries and senior centers we want to encourage readers to write their own letters to their grandchildren and share them with us.
