The war in Iraq is raging. On the same day as Mayday here in Minneapolis, there was be a large protest in New York City calling for Disarmament. At the Community Brainstorm meeting, someone asks if the theme this year could be “about Disarmament”

And so yes, we examined the process of disarmament – deep down, right into the center of our hearts, and the center of the earth. We enacted the ‘transformation of Uncle Sam into “We, The People!”’

Thanks to the Ceremony crafting team : Chris Lutter, Julie Boada, Esther Ouray, Jim Koplin, Sandy Spieler, Brent Harring, Paul Johnson, and the rest of the Mayday Staff artists: Cecilia Schiller, Soozin Hirschmugl, Ramon Cordes, Masanari Kawahara, Kevin Long, Amy Ballestad, Bart Buch, Malia Burkhart, Duane Tougas, Papis Diop, Patricia Mendoza, Laurie Witzkowski, George Meyer, and Newman Family group.

Here is the disarmament of Uncle Sam into “We, The People”
