| Bewail the Dead
CODEPINK We speak of monies and resources wasted, our rights curtailed and demolished, the impact of an occupation sometimes very far away from most U.S. folks - but the bottom line is the tragic, unconscionable waste of human lives: women, children, men like you and me unable to grow, to self-actualize, to decide what kind of lives they want to live. Bring shoes to label with the names of Iraqi and U.S. dead for a "Walk in their Shoes" display; bring Real Faces of War photos; drums. Among other actions, we will read the names of the dead, write their names out to leave at the recruiting station as we create an installation to mourn and remember the dead. This is part of Iraq Moratorium and of our "How Berkeley Can U BE" month of actions to SHUT DOWN Marine recruiting in our town.

When they finally ask us to leave, some of us don't. Then we get a ticket for misdemeanor trespass, which gets dismissed since the courts are all jammed up and they consider it a time-waster. Remember--you DO NOT have to commit civil disobedience in Matsui's office, you don't have to wear pink - just showing up makes a difference - and even with small turnouts of a dozen people, we've received media coverage - so make your voice heard!
