Eleven members of the Granny Peace Brigade/Philadelphia are set to go on trial on Dec. 1.

The grandmothers were arrested June 26 and charged with defiant trespass for their role in a protest involving an attempt to enlist in the U.S. armed forces to fight in Iraq.

The Peace Brigade was formed to oppose the war in Iraq.

The trial will take place at 9 a.m. in the Municipal Court at 1401 Arch St.

The Peace Brigade is planning to hold a demonstration before the trial and sent out a newsletter which "cordially invites" interested parties to attend.
