CARE-a-vans and speakers combined on Memorial Day in Kansas City, Mo., with this focus: “Human Care, Not Warfare.” Videos share the impact of speaker after speaker calling for a pandemic pivot from war and weapons to care for humanity and our home, our planet. These videos are by Mark and Jenny Semet of the PeaceWorks-KC Board of Directors. The date was May 25; the site for the talks was the parking lot of St. Mark Hope and Peace Lutheran Church. One CARE-a-van proceeded through midtown KC; the other one went far south in KC to the new National Security Campus, where parts are made for nuclear weapons.
The names of the speakers at the rally are given in the video titles, as well as groups they represent.
