Give Peace a Film Series

Once a month the Dutchess Peace Coalition will offer a free film at the Muddy Cup Coffee House, 305 Main St. in Poughkeepsie.

Pete Seeger: The Power of Song
Film Screening

Friday, October 3 at 7:30 pm
The Muddy Cup, 305 Main Street
Poughkeepsie, NY 12601

"Famous as he is, Mr. Seeger seems to exist outside of, and in opposition to, the commercial machinery of celebrity. His sensibility is cosmopolitan but also agrarian, devoted to land, family and community — to traditional American values, you might say.

In two years he'll be 90. He is an institution and a monument, but also a living presence whose best songs grow less quaint and more urgent every day, and who can drive some listeners crazy even as he moves others to tears. If you watch the video (included in this film) of him singing "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy" on CBS in 1968, you'll know just what I mean."

A. O. SCOTT, New York Times

We decided to try a vigil on 44/55 during rush hour.


We want to organize more of these counter recruiting
demonstrations outside the recruiting office in Wappingers.


We have been using our Guantanamo jumpsuits to dramatize
human rights abuses. Here we are at the impeachment protest.
The signs say "US Constitution" and the "Bill of Rights."


We have been reading Guantanamo poetry at various
poetry nights. Here Diane, Pat and Fred read at the
Muddy Cup in Poughkeepsie


Several of us attend the Peace Vigil
on Saturdays (12:00 - 2:00 pm) on Rt. 9 and 9D.
Read about the vigil in the NY Times.
