Dear colleagues,
the sponsors hoped that 20 000 would come, so typical for sponsors, ten
times of the expected did gather, 200 000, so typical of passionate and
dedicated participants... some say it were many more.
Many small groups from neighborhoods all over Berlin selforganized, many
families came in bunches... and there was not one prefab slogan,
everything was hand made, improvised, colorful, impressive. Flags were
carried from Ukraine, Estonia, Germany, Europe and walked in mixed
groups that assembled on the spot.
This happened in Berlin yesterday and I will remember that I was part of
it, pretty moved.
This huge open space did not only demand peace and pilloried the tryants
in Moscow but there were concrete projects that would mean big cuts for
those wanting them: Not only stopping North Stream 2 but also the active
North Stream 1 (gas pipeline from Russia to Germany)...
Hope you get a chance to see some pictures of this event...
Parallel to the event the German Parliament gathered... on a Sunday,
that was a first in its history... just a stonethrow away from the
demonstration.
The major daily paper in Berlin commented: This kind of uprising not
only in Berlin but all over Germany, Europe and the world will be an
essential driver to end the "war"...
Greetings from Berlin

PS: As before, I urge you to read "Practice of Peace" by Harrison Owen,
and get a handle on what it takes to be a peacemaker...
