*Several hundred women from Ottawa, Toronto, and upstate New York demonstrated outside an Ontario-based company that was producing guidance systems for Cruise missiles. Twenty-nine women were arrested. Women's Action for Peace declared the action as a day to "remember the victims of countless years of patriarchy and to resist a system that in the name of peace builds weapons of mass destruction; in the name of freedom denies women, minorities and people of the third world their right to self-determination; and in the name of progress poisons and rapes our Mother Earth."
