On the first anniversary of the continuing war in Iraq…
Sunday, March 14 - Monday, March 15, 2004
join Iraq Pledge of Resistance and others for a
Dover to D.C. Memorial Procession [walking and bus/van/car caravan].

The Dover to D.C. Memorial Procession is a Trail of Mourning & Truth to honor all those killed and wounded in Iraq, with legal processions to be followed by Nonviolent Civil Disobedience at The White House.

The Bush Administration refuses to acknowledge all those being killed and wounded as a result of war in Iraq. We will not!

A gallery collection of many photographs from both professional photographers and snapshot artists that have traveled to Iraq with Voices in the Wilderness, and some of our own work here in the U.S.

Photos from Lorna Tychostup’s recent journey to Iraq. February 2003. Also, Since 9/11, Tychostup has been working on independent photography project capturing the peace movement, entitled, “Defining Patriotism“. “My commitment is to get these photos shown in as many places as possible to encourage people to actively participate in a peace movement that does indeed exist, or at the very least, to help allay the fear of those who might be afraid to speak out in the face of the war rhetoric.”

On February 3rd, Elton Davis, of the DMCW community, Brian Terrell, the Director of the Catholic Peace Ministry and member of Strangers and guests CW community in Maloy IA, Patti McKee, Director of the Iowa Peace Network and former DMCW and Wendy Bobbit Vasquez, former Community for Creative Nonviolence and former DMCW were summoned to appear before a Federal Grand Jury in Des Moines on Tuesday, February 10th. Drake University and the National Lawyer’s Guild, Drake Chapter, were also summoned. All were summoned to answer questions regarding their roles in a Peace Making Conference and Demonstration which took place November 15 & 16th, 2003.

For seven intense days, the world was focused on Des Moines, or so it seemed. No sooner did the four get their summons than e-mails began to crisscross the country, going to various peace groups and progressive media outlets. The story got national mainline media attention within days after an Associated Press story hit the wires.

(2002-2003):
Thorne Anderson, a photojournalist whose work emphasizes the impact of conflict on civilian populations, has documented the current situation in Iraq as well as the work of Voices In the Wilderness’ Iraq Peace Team project. Thorne is staying in Iraq with the IPT indefinitely.
