Hakkımda: The Parma Student Peace Initiative is a local organizatopn dedicated to fostering peace through protest, education, and social action. Students beliefs are often discredited due to their age, and we seek to give a voice to those who believe in the power of peace. Some of our actions include counter recruitment, draft resistance, peace vigils, national marches, volunteering etc. Together, we can create peace.
PSPI focuses on the following:
End the War on Iraq: Working for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq
No War on Iran: NO military action against Iran or any other nation
Draft Resistance: Training students to be future conscientious objectors
Peace Education: Teaching people methods of resolving conflicts and creating peace
Counter Recruitment: Educating students about their rights in dealing with military recruiters
Israeli-Palestinian Peace:Taking on the voice of the Israeli peace movement
Youth Empowerment: Giving youth a voice
Opt out and protect your rights from military recruiters

Description: A public reenactment of a historic speech originally given by Paul Potter, former President of the Students for a Democratic Society, at the April 1965 March on Washington to End the War in Vietnam near the Washington Monument on the National Mall. This event is part of the Port Huron Project, a series of reenactments of protest speeches from the 1960s and 70s. Each performance in the project is staged at the site of the original speech and is delivered by an actor to an audience of invited guests and passers-by. Videos of these events are then distributed online and on DVD. The project is named after the Port Huron Statement, the visionary manifesto of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a radical student group formed in 1962.

Where: Northwest corner of the Boston Common, near the intersection of Charles and Beacon streets. Note: this is the exact site of Zinn’s original speech!

The project is named after the Port Huron Statement, the visionary manifesto of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a radical student group formed in 1962. The first event in the series, Port Huron Project 1: Until the Last Gun Is Silent, took place on Sept. 16, 2006, and was based on a speech given by Coretta Scott King at a peace march in Central Park in 1968. The third event will be a reenactment of a speech originally given by SDS President Paul Potter at the March on Washington in April 1965.
