The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and Code Pink invite Peter Schumann, director of the Bread and Puppet Theater, of Glover VT, to hand out his sourdough rye bread as part of an event in support of Bread not Bombs on Saturday, May 7th.

This is part of a nation wide movement - PeaceInUkraine - which calls for a ceasefire and a negotiated settlement in Ukraine.

Peter was born in Silesia, a region of Central Europe, now mainly in Poland. His recently deceased wife, Elka Schumann, has family in Russia.

Out of family concern, and also as a long time bread maker and peace activist, Schumann is deeply distressed with the war in Ukraine, its impact on the people, the climate, the world and bread making.
