Grandmothers Against the War, founded in November 2003, holds a peace vigil every Wednesday in front of Rockefeller Center from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM. The highly publicized group has been demanding an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Grandmothers Against the War also participates regularly in other anti-war activities, including the arrest and jailing at the Times Square Recruiting Center when they tried to enlist; a trek from New York to Washington over a 10-day period; a trip to Berlin to speak and sing to peace groups, and performances of Joan’s original song material, their Granny Chorus line dance, a comedy monologue as Barbara Bush, and dramatic monologues by famed actress granny, Vinie Burrows.
