We are a gathering of people from Erie and Crawford counties who are concerned that the US war on terrorism has become a permanent global war. We are committed to education and action to stop this "War on Terrorism." We want to stop the escalation and spread of such war and to work for true justice and peace.

May 12 Rachel Corrie play Mercyhurst Little Theater  Free will offering  7pm

This year Erie Peace Initiative, in partnership with Erie Benedictines for Peace, is presenting My Name is Rachel Corrie, a one-woman play created from the journals of Rachel Corrie. Rachel was a young, 23-year-old woman from Washington state, a student at Evergreen State College, who had taken a year off and traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada. She died in 2003 after being struck and crushed by an armored bulldozer while attempting to stop the destruction of a Palestinian home in Rafah by the Israeli military.
Courtney Day Nassar, an actress from Pittsburgh, has portrayed Rachel in numerous presentations of this play, giving a powerful and riveting performance that reveals the heart and mind of this amazing young person.

My Name is Rachel Corrie
Taken from the writings of Rachel Corrie, edited by Alan Rickman and Katharine Viner
Starring Courtney Day Nassar as Rachel
Thursday, May 12, 7:30 pm Taylor Little Theatre Mercyhurst College
