Dear Women in Black,

Seattle WIB is going to participate next Thursday in the nationwide ceremony to mourn the likely more than 100,000 Iraqi deaths that have resulted from the war and occupation of their country. We plan to do this as part of our regular vigil. Below is the vigil announcement.

We invite you to join with us by performing a similar ceremony at your own vigils and, if you like, to fold your rings in with those of Seattle WIB to come up with a total which we can report to the national organizers. Sasha Crow has registered Women in Black on the website and could report the totals if you would let her know. You can contact her at
