2nd Annual Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi Action

Steve and Jay (above) shares quotes from Gandhi.
Sarah, Mary and Susan share a brief history on Peace conversion. Prior to the women speaking, we were told our sound system (megaphone) needed to be turned-off because we did not have a permit. Obtaining a permit from the city would require ATK's permission as an affected property owner.
Brigid shares an article by Polly Mann regarding cluster munitions that suggests the company should be producing dolls. When a child goes to pick up the doll, it won't explode, unlike the cluster bombs left to litter the child's countryside. Brigid offers a handmade doll as the first gift in honor of Gandhi.
Mary is excited about the prospect of ATK switching production to toys.
