In April of 2003, a group of women began standing in front of the Federal Courthouse in Albuquerque under the name and in the tradition of Women in Black. The practice continues today as women gather on the sidewalk of the 300 block of Lomas NW every Thursday from noon-1:00 pm, except Thanksgiving Day. The women arrive from all directions to stand silently in prayer, meditation or contemplation. standing in peace, for our community, in the hope and desire for peace in our world.
