Quakers have been there from the beginning.
The Episcopal Peace Fellowship has also been faithful. Bishop Marc Andrus joined the little band yesterday.
Supervisor and mayoral candidate John Avalos turned out to deliver a commendation from the entire Board. The city recognizes this faithful witness is emblematic of our city's values (on our better days.)

Brilliant!
