Mother's Day was first organized in 1870 by
the abolitionist, suffragette and poet Julia Ward Howe
to promote peace and speak out against
war.
Julia's Voice ( www.juliasvoice.org ) was first
organized last year to try to bring Mother's Day back to its
origins.
On this edition of Tell
Somebody, we'll talk to Sara Sautter and Elizabeth Barker of
the Julia's Voice steering committee about the history of Mother's
Day and plans for Mother's Day 2009 and beyond.
Also, an exclusive interview with
Ra'ed Jarrar about U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. An Iraqi-born
U.S. citizen who was in Baghdad for Shock and Awe, Jarrar
currently works for AFSC in Washington, D.C.
