Join peaceful protests against the war in Iran

We have received many questions about whether there will be any anti-war protests this weekend. At this point, we know of two protests that we want to share with you. Both events are sponsored by trusted partners committed to peaceful, non-violent protest.

As always, we urge you to review our Best Practices for Protesting and our Decision Tree for choosing which actions and events you are comfortable taking part in. Also, please check out the ACLU’s guide to knowing your rights.

1pm – 5pm, City Plaza Concord (in front of the arches)
Sponsored by our friends at NH Peace Action: A rally to call on our government to end the senseless bombing of Iran.

The U.S. and Israel have started a war on Iran. This is an illegal, unconstitutional attack by two nuclear armed states against a non-nuclear state.

Please join us Sunday, 1pm at City Plaza in Concord (in front of the arches) for a Rally to call on our government to end the senseless bombing of Iran.

Our speakers will be:

  • Kaylie Efstratiou, NH Peace Action Board member
