Peace and Justice Festival
The 9th Annual Rally in the Valley

Fresno Fairgrounds, Jr. Exhibit Hall
The Peace and Justice Festival will be the largest convergence of peace activists in the Central Valley on the day that marks seven years of U.S. war on Iraq. We will join people all over the U.S. in calling for an end to war, and we will celebrate the richness of our local peace and justice community.
We ask all peace, social justice, environmental justice, and progressive political groups from this region to co-sponsor, support, or endorse the event and to table and inform the public about their issues and actions. Use the accompanying form to register. Spaces are limited and early registration helps us plan and promote the festival. Please tell others.
The festival will feature speakers –Kathy Kelly of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, Iraq Veterans Against War leader Rick Reyes, and actor/ musician Thomas Ian Nicholas as Abbie Hoffman, music – by Blake Jones and the Trike Shop, Ibice, Thomas Ian Nicholas, the Sanger Academy Charter School Guitar Ensemble, and the Raging Grannies, muralists, and local peace and justice organizations showcasing their work (last year 50 groups tabled). For the first time, we are inviting vendors to sell handcrafted goods, health & wellness products & services.
Admission and parking is free. The venue is the Jr. Exhibit Hall at the fairgrounds. It is approximately 100’ x 200’ with heat, cooling, electrical outlets, restrooms, and a stage. Go to our website for details about the program for the 2010 Peace and Justice Festival, for pictures and information from last year’s Rally in the Valley, and to view photos of the Jr. Exhibit Hall.
We come together to strengthen the movement against militarism, to bear witness, and to learn from each other.
