Below is a preliminary notice of peace events planned for Wednesday 11 September, two in Wellington and one in

11 September which honour the universality of grief and the hope for a peaceful world. Peaceful Tomorrows is a US group
comprising families whose relatives were killed in the 11 Sept attacks on New York and Washington; they "firmly believe
that the real lesson of September 11 is that war and violence are the problems, not the solutions". For more information
