Under a beautiful fall sky at Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver, Clark County League members spoke with the more than 200 people who attended the Sept. 13 Peace and Justice Fair. 

More than five dozen children voted on what peace means to them. The most frequent response? “Helping others.”   

Meanwhile about 150 adults ranked social justice issues,including access to medical care, ICE activities, the impact of climate change, proposed voting restrictions, food security and troops in cities. 

Among the Clark members who participated were Rachel Bancroft, Kate Castenson, Heather Beecher, Marci Wright, Renee Gaasch, Cynthia Gardner, Jo Waddell, Claudia Tokola and Mary Autin-Seymour. – Contributed by Mary Austin-Seymour
