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.

Peace One Day - Film Screening

Friday, September 5 at 7:30 pm
The Muddy Cup, 305 Main Street
Poughkeepsie, NY 12601

The remarkable 5-year journey of filmmaker Jeremy Gilley as he meets heads of state, Nobel Peace laureates, media moguls, the innocent victims of war, and everyone who was anyone at the U.N. in his quest to persuade the global community to officially sanction a global cease-fire day; a day of peace worldwide.

The screening will be followed by an audience discussion. This is part of the "Give Peace a Film" series sponsored by the Dutchess Peace Coalition. There is no admission charge.

Please download a flyer and post it where you can! (coming soon)


For your calendar: movie nights at the Muddy Cup are now scheduled for Friday, September 5 (Peace One Day), Friday, October 3 (Taxi to the Dark Side).

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.
