The Glendale Peace Vigil gathers 5-7 pm each Friday on the corner of Broadway and Brand to distribute educational materials, talk about current events with neighbors and peacefully demonstrate for ending the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and for improving other unacceptable U.S. policies. We also sponsor educational programs involving peace and justice issues. Everyone welcome!

Welcome to the Glendale Peace Vigil Website!

The Glendale Peace Vigil was established in 2002 by community members of Glendale, California. We have met every week on the corner to voice our opinions and distribute educational materials about various peace and justice issues, including our objections to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the PATRIOT Act and the militarization of our schools.

In addition, we have put on programs for the community, bringing films and speakers, drawing hundreds of neighbors to our events.

Please join us on the corner!
