Members of the Rainier Valley Neighbors for Peace and Justice, Pat Manuele (at left) and Dick Burkhart, wave their hands and signs to passing motorists rolling through the intersection of Rainier Avenue South and South Alaska Street. A few members of the activist group gathered at the intersection on Wednesday, Sept. 5, to spread their anti-war message before convening near the Columbia City Farmers Market in the park to share ideas and food. The group also sought contributions from market shoppers for an upcoming newspaper ad that implores our elected leaders to stop funding the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and to start funding solutions to end the conflict and fight global warming.
