NASHUA — Several peace activists braved chilly temperatures in downtown Nashua Friday to hold signs urging voters in Tuesday’s presidential primary to write in “Ceasefire” rather than vote for a particular candidate.
The newly formed group — “Vote Ceasefire New Hampshire” — includes members of the “Peacemakers for Palestinians Coalition” and “New Hampshire Peace Action” who are waging a campaign aimed at bringing awareness to the ongoing violence in the Middle East.
Beginning at noon Friday, eight or so Vote Ceasefire N.H. members staged a vigil in front of U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster’s downtown Nashua office at 184 Main St.
Their objective, they said, is simple: “To mobilize voters to register to vote, go to the polls, and redirect the attention put towards the presidential primary in New Hampshire to the inhumane loss of life happening in Gaza, West Bank, Israel and across the Middle East,” according to a statement issued by the organization.
