Grammys for peace in downtown Providence

PROVIDENCE – In case you’re wondering who those four bundled-up souls are outside City Hall during the noon hour today, braving the windy, snowy day, we checked for you.

They call themselves the Grammy Peace Brigade and say they join other grannies for peace groups around the country. Opposed to the continued presence of U.S. troops in Iraq, they say they’ve stood outside City Hall every Friday at lunchtime since Jan. 26.

“Our demonstration will be dignified, peaceful, and purposeful,” reads the little pink flyer they’re handing out. “Our motto: Bring them back from Iraq NOW. Grammies of RI, come join us and be part of the Grammy Peace Brigade.”

Anyone with questions is encouraged to call Anita H. Berger, at (401) 724-0006.
