A quotation by Commager, Henry Steele

It is easier to say what loyalty is not than what it is. It is not conformity. It is not passive acquiescence in the status quo. It is not preference for everything American over everything foreign. It is not an ostrich-like ignorance of other countries and other institutions. It is not the indulgence in ceremony — a flag salute, an oath of allegiance, a fervid verbal declaration. It is not a particular creed, a particular version of history, a particular body of economic practices, a particular philosophy.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

“Who Is Loyal to America?” Harper’s Magazine #1168 (Sep 1947)

No plans on Sunday? Join the Peace Pledge Union this Sunday for the National Alternative Remembrance Ceremony - in person or online

After a year online, we are back in Tavistock Square in #London. We will also live stream the event on our website for those who can’t make it in person.

The #ceremony will highlight the importance of a #peaceful and inclusive culture of #remembrance at a time of growing instability caused by the climate crisis and the COVID pandemic. It will also mark twenty years since 9/11 and the invasion of Afghanistan, with speakers focussing on the #catastrophic #legacy of the 'war on terror’.

With contributions from:

Hamit Dardagan, co-founder of Iraq Body Count and the charity Every Casualty WorldwideHuda Ammori, activist, writer and co-founder of Palestine ActionHosted by Anya Nanning Ramamurthy, organiser of London youth climate strikes and PPU council member
We will lay white poppy wreaths in memory of all #victims of #war, both #civilian and #military, past and present. For those attending in person there will also be an opportunity to lay individual white poppies on the #ConscientiousObjectors' Commemorative Stone.

When - 12 noon - 1pm, Remembrance Sunday 14th November
