The EPJC's coming-out party and debut, at Kirkland's annual 4th of July Parade - 15 of us showed the Peace and Justice colors in front of 15,000 of our dear friends and neighbors here in Kirkland WA.  To scattered applause, throughout.  And one big standing ovation by the library.  No birdie fingers.  What a dream location. 


Our regular weekly events include a vigil for peace and justice, at 6pm, Anderson Park, in Redmond. 20 to 40 people.

EPJC's weekly events also include a weekly anti-war protest on the 100th Street pedestrian overpass, I-405, Kirkland. every Wednesday morning, 7:00-8:30 am.  Usually 4 - 6 people.  "US OUT OF IRAQ NOW". Here are some picturesWe're still out there every Wednesday.  Drop by and introduce yourself!  WaTiR meetings every week, after the overpass.


20 EPJC members pooled our pennies to buy this Video Projector. This projector is available and in regular use, for all peace and justice causes-not just EPJC.   Contact us for information about hosting a Video Night in your location!  Here are some things EPJC is doing with it.         .... for more information see: Video Events Page

We have a calendar/footprint on the SNOW Coalition website. * Eastside North events.
