The women who organized the peace rally in Guyana on Friday January 24th, 2003 met again on Tuesday January 28th. Committees are forming, new ADS are being placed in the newspapers with the new signatures added on, overseas International/PR teams are forming. Women Against Violence Everywhere, WAVE, was picked as a name.

Another meeting is being planned for Friday, January 31,2003 at the Cenotaph at noon. Ideas being contemplated:

1. A peace wall of signatures. Already, someone has written, "I like the idea of a “wall” of signatures in downtown GT. It should be next to a wall of all people killed. Would it be possible to get materials that mimic the Vietnam memorial – the names disappear when it rains – powerful symbolism for me as weeping will eventually wash away the loss. If that could happen with the killed and the inverse with the wall of peace signatures whenever it rains that would be something." If you would like to help co-ordinate this please email Tony who can work on this.

2. Begin dialogue in the Buxton and Annandale communities, co-ordinated with women who live or are from there.

3. Boycott Mashramani and demand that the opposition return to Parliament, if only to appoint the new Commissioner of Police.
