21.04.03 Holy Saturday Lenten Peace Vigil at GD/BIW in Bath
Thirteen Maine peace activists attended the Lenten Peace Vigil at GD/BIW in Bath on March 27, 2021 under a partially clouded sky with temps in the 40s. After gathering at 11:30 AM, the peace activists marched from the GD/BIW Administration building to the middle employee gate. The large number of shift workers reflected the hiring boom at GD/BIW. As has been happening lately, some departing workers took the leaflet from Maureen of Smilin' Trees Disarmament Farm and made positive comments.
The peace activists marched back to the GD/BIW administration building and held a closing circle of forgiveness and renewal. Maureen of Smilin' Trees Disarmament Farm, one of the organizers of this Plowshares vigil, announced that there will be three vigils at GD/BIW in May.
After the event, some of the attendees, who have been vaccinated, agreed to pose without their masks so The Maine Paparazzi could capture their smiling faces.
