A wall of protest posters has sprung up this summer in the heart of the Washington DC Adams Morgan community. The wall is being tended to by peace-loving war-hating people in Washington. The posters come from around the world. Activists in the UK have created a major part of the material being posted.

On a recently vacated building where plywood boards were put up to prevent squatters and others from entering, the activists of this community saw the opportunity to create a billboard for peace. By day the building is under renovation and the plywood boards come down for the workers to enter to fix it up. By night, the plywood boards are back up and the neighborhood activists get busy posting the posters. The billboard changes everyday. These are the postings from this week.
