Do you like peace? Do you like to party? Then come to the Peace Party! The main focus of this party is to show non-activists that activism can be seriously fun as well as to gather local activists together for a night of good clean fun. There will be live music, spoken word, free tea and vegan food, art-making, paper cranes, and more. Please come and show your support of peace and activism and show the non-activist community that activists are not that intimidating and actually have a lot of fun while doing good things for the community.
