Brainerd Area Coalition for Peace and Brainerd Lakes United Environmentalists (BACP-BLUE) will hold a peace vigil outside the new Minnesota Military and Veterans Museum on Saturday, September 12, 2026, the museum's opening day. The Minnesota Military and Veterans Museum is located at 21702 Haven Road, Little Falls, near Camp Ripley. The vigil is scheduled to last from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The vigil will offer a pro-peace message to counter the museum's pro-war propaganda. The vigil will protest the use of $32 million in state funds to build the museum when the funds could have been used to help support veterans' health care, housing, and educational needs.
We have been holding our meetings on-line via Zoom during the winter. Beginning with the May meeting, we will be meeting either at the UCC Church, 415 Juniper, Brainerd (SW corner of Gregory Park) or at Gregory Park, depending on the weather. An agenda will be provided via email prior to the meeting and that email will also contain another link to join by Zoom during the winter months. Meetings held by Zoom will be limited to 40 minutes. For more information go to the Meeting Agendas and Minutes.
Brainerd Lakes United Environmentalists is an inclusive group of people working to support the health of the environment through communication, advocacy and cooperation with broader networks to promote scientifically-sound solutions on issues of climate change and water quality in the Brainerd Lakes Area.
