Antiwar Protest & Teach-in, 1PM @ Lake St. Station
Protest the War on Iraq: Be part of a visible anti-war presence with signs & banners
SAT, 10/ 11 @ 1:00 PM @ Hiawatha & Lake Street, Minneapolis
followed by Columbus Day teach-in at Corcoran Park
Six years ago, on October 11, 2002, the U.S. Congress overwhelmingly passed a Joint Resolution authorizing the Bush Administration to launch the Iraq war. Since then, Congress has continued to provide billions of dollars for the war and occupation.
On Saturday, October 11, 2008 — six years after Congress gave the green light for war — demonstrations, vigils and other events will be held in cities around the country calling for an end to the war and occupation of Iraq. These events, held as the election campaign gears up, will keep the anti-war message in the streets.
In this election year, some politician's talk about "winning the war" and staying in Iraq for 100 years, other politicians are talking about "withdrawal timetables," or taking troops out of Iraq only to send them to Afghanistan instead. But there is no such thing as "winning a war" that was based on lies and deceptions. The people of Iraq want the occupation troops out of their country. The war and occupation must end now! Organized by the Iraq Peace Action Coalition.
