WEFPJ sister camp in Ann Arbor, MI

Several groups of women from Ann Arbor, MI visited the Women's Encampment for a Future of Peace and Justice in July and August of 1983. In October, they organized a sister peace camp with daily actions, street theater, films and presentations in their hometown.

 The week-long camp was housed (and lawned) at the Ann Arbor Friends Meeting House.
