Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), and Win Without War. Similar vigils will take
place in nearly one hundred cities across the country on Monday.
At the vigil, local residents will urge Rep. Chu to avoid another unnecessary and costly war and vote against the Authorization for Use of Military Force resolution expected to be debated soon in Congress.
The local organizer for the event, Jeff Rudisill said, “I am opposed to
military intervention in Syria without exploring ALL non-violent resolutions to
remove chemical weapons from Syria, and without the legal authority of the
International Community."

WHAT: Candlelight vigil to urge Rep. Chu
to vote against military action in Syria
WHERE: Kersting Court, corners of Baldwin Ave and Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre, CA
