The Red Cedar Friends Meeting (the Quaker meeting in the Lansing area) coordinates the Michigan Eyes Wide Open exhibit for the American Friends Service Committee. The exhibit includes a pair of combat boots representing each Michigan military death in Iraq and Afghanistan plus symbolic representations of Iraqi and Afghan civilian deaths. Michigan Eyes Wide Open is available for local Michigan comm

unities to exhibit, along with posters and information witnessing to the human cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The American Friends Service Committee developed the Eyes Wide Open exhibit in 2004 to remind ourselves of the overwhelming human cost of war in Iraq. In 2007 as the number of deaths mounted, this national Eyes Wide Open exhibit was divided into an exhibit for each state. The Red Cedar Friends Meeting houses the Michigan portion of the American Friends Service Committee's Eyes Wide Open exhibit. If your community considers hosting Michigan Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of Wars in Iraq nd Afghanistan, contact Michigan Eyes Wide Open, c/o Red Cedar Friends Meeting, 1400 Turner Street, Lansing, Michigan 48906. If you wish to support Michigan Eyes Wide Open with a donation, make out your check to "Red Cedar Friends Witness" and mail it to 1400 Turner Street, Lansing, Michigan 48906. Excellent settings for the Michigan Eyes Wide Open exhibit include universities, spaces in front of public buildings, faith communities, or other open public spaces. Because of solemn nature of the exhibit, we ask that it not be used as part of any rally or protest march. Thus, the exhibit cannot be used to for political purposes or to support or condemn particular candidates.
