Members of MPG held a peace vigil at 7.45am on Wednesday March 20,  2013 outside the Marrickville Town Hall and called for a peaceful resolution to the war in Syria.

This date was also the tenth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.

The theme of the vigil was the ongoing supply of weapons to the warring parties – including by member countries of the UN Security Council.

Read a report on the vigil in the Inner City Weekender, 22 March 2013, page 7.
