PS Earth Day / May Day Coffeehouse
PeaceSmiths adjusted our schedule a bit. Instead of the usual May coffeehouse, we slipped in an extra one in April. So, there is no “first Friday of the month” for May.
Instead…

2022: Archive Dive
The famous PeaceSmiths Archives. Rediscovered by Daniel in April 2022.
PeaceSmiths presents a peace and justice coffeehouse each month from October to June.
PeaceSmiths has a long history of supporting activism, protests, vigils, advocacy, organizing, and petitioning government in Nassau County and Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
The archives includes music, poetry, fliers, posters, stickers, books, informational literature, protest art, more formal art, and many items personally collected by longtime Coordinator, Susan Blake (1953-2007).
Just a few photos (and one, typically “bad” PeaceSmiths joke) posted at the “more”.
April 1st 2022 (and…April 29th!)
