Please consider volunteering and making a donation to the
Swords to Plowshares Belltower
We just found out our permit will require us to maintain a 24 hour vigil at the Belltower. This is a huge opportunity with numerous visitors to the area in the two weeks leading up to Memorial Day. It is also a huge challenge.
Please CONTACT US if you can be in the D.C. area during May so we can contact you about potentially doing a shift with a partner at the tower.
Even if you CANNOT come to DC please DONATE so we can meet expenses of veterans and volunteers staffing the tower.
The installation is being planned in conjunction with the arrival of Sam's Ride for Peace, VFP lobby days and Vietnam Full Disclosure's Memorial Day 'Letters to the Wall" Effort.
Sign up for one shift or many! Volunteers needed for:
- Tower Raising and Stand Down (4-5 strong volunteers) on May 14 and May 27.
- Vigil - participate in 2 person shifts, at night, from May 15 - May 26 period.
- Food and Housing - bring food for one or more days or provide local housing.
- Tower staffing - instruct visitors in creating a commemorative inscription.
- Publicity/media outreach - help distribute flyers, contact media and get the word out!
- Documentation - help with graphics, video, webpage, and public history interviews.
To register to volunteer, please email Roger Ehrlich at: progerehrlich@gmail.com or stpbelltower2018@gmail.com. Let us know how you would like to help!
