The Center on Conscience & War (CCW), with Veterans for Peace, is hosting an event for International Conscientious Objectors' Day, on May 14, 2015, 7-9pm at Busboys and Poets on 14th and V. St. in DC. Enjoy the inspiring and fun music by Emma's Revolution, and celebrate conscience brief reflections from Conscientious Objectors to war, including
- Former Prisoner of Conscience, Maikel Nabil Sanad, founder of NoMilService, an organization working to support conscientious objectors in Egypt;
- Nolan Fontaine, Howard University Graduate Student, and National Guard Conscientious Objector; and
- Don Zientara, US Army Conscientious Objector, and owner of Inner Ear Studio in Arlington, VA.
The event is free, but offerings in honor of CCW's 75th birthday and in support of our ongoing work with Conscientious Objectors will be most welcome. "War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige as the warrior does today." -- JFK
Let's bring that "distant day" a little closer by celebrating this international holiday in honor of conscience!
