On Wednesday, May 5, 2015 when John Bolton, former advocate of the war on Iraq and now proponent of bombing Iran to prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon, was invited to speak at Union College as part of a lecture series the students and faculty were outraged.  They invited Women Against War and other community peace groups to join them in an informational picket.  Marcia Hopple of the Iran Project coordinated our presence and invited other groups.  Many others helped in communication, photography, and by their presence.

We have a detailed blog article on Waging Peace, with many photos taken by Mabel Leon and links to some campus opinion pieces.  You can get details and wonderful visuals here.
