Speak out against war on Mother's Day

[Anne Pritchett]

Have you ever had a Mother?   This Mothers Day, be a part of the celebration as it was originally intended, a voice for peace and against war.  Julia's Voice is dedicated to reclaiming Mothers Day as it was intended by Julia Ward Howe, a day to promote peace and speak out against war. Join us at 95th and Nieman in Overland Park as we speak out against war on Mother's Day. Sunday May 11 at 3:00 pm.

On May 11, 2008, we will honor the work of mothers to teach, in the words of Mothers Day founder Julia Ward Howe, patience, charity and mercy. Mother's Day was first organized 138 years ago by abolitionist, suffragette and poet Julia Ward Howe.  In 1870 she organized a Mothers Day for Peace to promote peace and speak out against war. Julia's Voice is a group of "mothers and others" joined together to return Mothers Day to its original intent.
