We have an exciting and informative program lined up. So come out with your friends, family and co-workers for a peaceful, legal demonstration and join us in song, dance, marches, cheers, chants, banner waving (represent!), and protests. Send the message that you’re for an end to a combined total of 15 years of U.S. led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Let your spirit of humanity shine brightly and your voice be heard loudly so that the government can’t ignore the sights and sounds of the majority in this country who are against their wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! BRING THEM HOME NOW!
The U.S. goverment plans to send tens of thousands of more young men and women–sons and daughters, mothers and fathers–to Afghanistan. October 17 at U.N. Plaza is your chance to become an anti-war activist.
