His compelling photos tell the stories of their struggles. He would be saying right now, “Continue the work.”
The photo exhibit opens Monday, June 4, and runs through the month of June. The exhibit may be viewed during the Center’s open hours – 1:00 – 5:30 pm Wednesday and Saturday afternoons as well as during events at the Center. The public is invited. Suggested donation $5. No one turned away.

Locally, Fitch was an advisor to the Monterey Peace and Justice Center in its planning stages (in 2003-2004, before we opened our doors). He was then on the staff of the Santa Cruz Resource Center for Nonviolence.
The Bob Fitch Photography Archive at the Stanford Libraries contains over 200,000 images, primarily black and white photographs and negatives, spanning the period from 1965 to the present. 3500 images (of the 275,000 images he took) are free and are available for the public to download, as part of Fitch’s arrangement with Stanford.

Veterans For Peace, Monterey Chapter 46, is going to participate in a peaceful, non-violent protest demo, with signs and banners, beginning at 4PM across the street from the entrance to the Fairgrounds and we will, also, have people leafleting on the sidewalk in front of the entrance. We will be protesting the use of the Fairgrounds, a public facility, for an NRA event and the NRA’s position opposing any and all types of gun control.
We envision everyone who is appalled by the slaughter of innocents enabled by easy gun purchase joining us. Can you help us get the word out? Do you have a way of communicating with all the groups and/or people in the Monterey County?

We have less than 2 weeks so we must get to work right away if we are going to have a successful demonstration of people’s opposition to the NRA’s obstruction of gun control legislation.
