Here is another way to observe International Conscientious Objectors' Day, if you are in the northeast US.

The East Bay Citizens for Peace (EBCP) in Rhode Island holds ongoing peace vigils on the second Saturday of every month from 11 AM to noon outside the Bristol Post Office.

This Saturday May 14 their vigil would fall on the same weekend as International Conscientious Objectors' Day.

Here is their stated mission:

We are a #grassroots organization made up of individuals from #RhodeIsland’s East Bay area that are committed to #peaceful #solutions to conflict and to social and economic #justice through the promotion of open, respectful #dialogue. We strive to accomplish these #goals through public forums on topics relevant to our mission, publication of position papers and #community #activism. We also seek to promote changes in U.S. policy by lobbying our representatives in Washington DC on issues of concern. EBCP operates by consensus and does not as a group subscribe to any one political ideology or party.
