Million Doors for Peace

On September 20, 2008, GRUS led a group of volunteers in the Grant Park neighborhood of Atlanta as a part of the national Million Doors for Peace effort.

We met some pretty cool people most of whom were fed up with just about everything about the current administration, including the Iraq War.
