[GPRI] meet ri's raging grannies

[Richard Walton]

Hi, Jodi:  I'm spreading the word far and wide about RI's version of the
'Raging Grannies."  Do I remember correctly that you'll be at the fourth
anniversary anti-war march and rally on Sunday the 18th. If so, I'll see
you there.  Thank you.  Peace.  Richard.


>RI s  Raging Grannies  



>With songs, humor and  passion, RI s Raging Grannies are a group of women
>of    a certain age  who are working to create a more peaceful and
>equitable   society.

>Raging Grannies, with its  international roots in the peace movement, are
> available for events, rallies and  various activities with song sheets
>in hand to  sing new words to familiar tunes.  So, the tune to  Battle
>Hymn of the  Republic  turns into an anti-war song.   You are My
>Sunshine  might be newly  scribed to address global warming,  and so on.

>It is a way to address issues that we care deeply about,  but to do so in
>a  way that is fun and that gets people to listen, and,  hopefully, take
>action!

>The Raging  Grannies began in Canada in 1986 as part of the Extenuating  
>Circumstances group, which employed street theater to protest Canada s
>support   for American nuclear warships in Victoria, British Columbia. 
>Since then,  the  groups   or gaggles, as the movement s groups
>humorously call themselves     have sprung up across the globe.  RI s
>Raging  Grannies is comprised of women  you will recognize from their
>years  of community work in RI, in the areas of  homelessness, violence
>against women,  LGBTQQ issues, reproductive freedom,  poverty and  more.
