Standing for Peace-- Refusing to Quit
Alliance for Peace and Justice; and Student Action Network
Join us on Friday July 18 at Toomer's Corner-4:45pm to 5:45pm. This gathering, on the 3rd Friday of each month, will be one of many across the country that demands a stop to the war in Iraq.
As we yearn for peace, we are painfully aware that our nation waged a pre-emptive, unnecessary, illegal, immoral war on another country. Many thousands are dead, injured, suffering and fleeing, because of us.
Feel free to bring your own appropriate sign, or use one of ours. You can purchase posterboard across the street at J&M Bookstore across the street from Toomer's Corner.
Peace is hard work. Stand with others. Hope to see you there!
