Norwich Quakers and others affiliated to Norwich Peace Camp invite all to celebrate this annual day of peacemaking and hope for peace on earth.
9.30am There will be a procession with banners from the Quaker Meeting House in Upper Goat Lane, past City Hall, the War Memorial and The Forum to the bottom of Hay Hill by Norwich Market for:
10-11am VIGIL & CELEBRATION Please come and share your Thoughts, Peace Stories, Poetry and Songs. There will be an Information Stall.

Please bring your Peace Banners for the processions and literature for the Stall.
The aim of Peace One Day is to start with just one day in the year when there is no war or violence anywhere in the world. People can use that day to think how the causes of war can be eradicated and how conflicts can be solved without violence. Then, one day at a time, we can all begin building a world without war for every day. Read more

PROTEST: Tell John Kerry world says no to war on Syria
EMERGENCY PROTEST
TELL JOHN KERRY NO WAR ON SYRIA
Monday 9 September 8am
Foreign Office
Whitehall
London SW1
US secretary of state John Kerry is touring Europe trying to drum up support for a war on Syria that opinion polls around the world show is opposed by majorities in most countries. Two thirds of Americans say no to war. Close to 75% of people in Britain are opposed, which no doubt was what motivated MPs in parliament to stop David Cameron taking this country into yet another war in the Middle East on the coat-tails of US foreign policy.
Barack Obama was isolated at the recent G20 meeting, at which only the French government was prepared to commit to a military attack on Syria. Latest polls show that most people in France are opposed to president Hollande’s backing of Obama’s drive to war, saying they feared it could “set the entire region ablaze”.
The attack Barack Obama is planning is illegal under international law without the backing of the United Nations security council. It will not help to solve the civil war in Syria which is causing such suffering for the Syrian people, but will only further inflame the conflict, as we have seen happen in all the US-led interventions in the region over the past decade — in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. What is needed in Syria is not more devastation and death at the end of a barrage of US Cruise missiles, but serious moves towards a negotiated political settlement.
On Monday 9 September, John Kerry will be in London banging his drums for more war, as his boss Obama prepares a national address he will make on Tuesday trying to persuade the American people and US Congress that yet more war is what’s needed to help bring peace to Syria.
Stop the War has called a protest on Monday 9 September, at 8am, when John Kerry will be meeting British foreign secretary William Hague at the Foreign Office in Whitehall. If you can, please join us to tell Kerry that the world says no to war on Syria.
* A new motion that has now been been tabled in Parliament urging US representatives in Congress to reject war. Please use Stop the War’s lobbying tool to urge your MP to support this motion: http://act.stopwar.org.uk/lobby/58.
* Stop the War will call a protest at the US embassy in Grosvenor Square, London on the day the of the debate in the US Congress, which is likely next week. Details will be publicised on the Stop the War website and through our Facebook and Twitter.
* No Attack on Syria
Public Meeting
Wednesday 11 September
Conway Hall, Red Lion Square on Wednesday 11 September at 7pm.
