Granny Peace Brigade
Member of Granny Peace Brigade in DC on March 19, 2008 holding up knitted amputee cozie for a 20-year-old Iraq veteran getting surgery in Walter Reed.
Here is the Knit-In we went to in DC. You can see video of the Granny Peace Brigade on youtube below. Not sure who uploaded this... but I just discovered I'm knitting with my Stitch for Senate armband behind the awesome granny who is being interviewed about 1/3rd of the way through. I was asked to be interviewed and I said "I'm not a Granny though, I'm an Auntie [for Peace]..." Anyway, I first learned about them from a totally inspiring inteview with a 91-year-old member of the group on Democracy Now, and you can see more about current actions on their website. There also has some footage of IVAW at the end which I will do a separate post about.
