Seattle Women in Black has handed out over 325 different flyers, distributing an average of 250/week, since we began standing on 09/27/01. Typically, each week a committee drafts a flyer about a specific event or issue, with suggestions for action and links to additional resources. The flyers are half sheets of letter-sized paper, printed front/back. The front contains a description of Women in Black, with an invitation to join the group. This is reproduced below. The back of the sheet changes weekly. An archive of some weekly flyers can be seen by clicking the links below.
We stand in silence, because words alone cannot express the tragedy that wars and hatred bring.
We stand in black, mourning for lives broken or lost through violence in the
We stand in witness to the suffering of victims of violence all over the world.
We stand in solidarity with all who struggle for justice and peace.
We stand convinced that we can all learn to distinguish between justice and vengeance.
We call upon world leaders to employ nonviolent meant to resolve conflict.
We stand for justice.
We stand for peace.
Seattle Women in Black is part of an international network of women standing in silent vigil,
wearing black in mourning for all victims of war, for the destruction of nature and the fabric of life,
calling for peace, justice and non-violent solutions to conflict. Each group is autonomous,
related to the others by the way women stand in silent vigil sharing these common goals.
Begun in 1988 by Israeli and Palestinian women, it has spread to conflict areas all over the world.
All women are welcome to stand silently with us any Thursday,
are welcome to leaflet (1 or 2 at once) or to stand in a group beside the women’s vigil
