We could not have done all we have accomplished in our first year by ourselves. For the many of you who have helped us on our way, Thank you!
Here is a short round up. In the past ten months, we purchased a house in such poor condition a bank refused to give us a mortgage; replaced a leaky portion of the roof; removed over 35 cubic yards of trash carpet, broken furniture, shattered windows, and more. We have replaced six windows, two doors, and painted the interior of the house. We also have lain new carpet and vinyl floor. Our new front porch is currently under construction. Also underway is a quite necessary rewiring of the whole house.
It has been equally enjoyable and stressful recovering our home from its broken past and creating a place of hope, joy, and peace.
Other than each of our members maintaining a full time job and renovating our house, we have been engaging in witness against the crimes of the American Empire from Hiroshima and Nagasaki to Iraq and our own broken cities. We seek to share the good news of nonviolence and create a new world without greed and violence and war.
