South Valley Peace Center
South Valley Peace Center (SVPC) was founded in the run-up to the Iraq war. In the summer of 2002 the Visalia Friends Meeting launched a project to put a billboard on Hwy 99 saying Stop the War. (The Iraq war had not yet started, but it was clear that the Bush administration was laying the groundwork to invade Iraq.) During the same period of time a group of women representing WILPF started holding a vigil in Visalia on the corner of Mooney and Walnut. Soon the numbers started to grow and become more diverse. It soon became clear that the name without a group and the group without a name were a perfect match. The South Valley Peace Center, as an actual organization, was born.
