IVAW to Show Military Opposition to the Iraq War on October 27

http://www.ivaw.org/



If you are a soldier or veteran who has served on active duty or in the Reserves
or National Guard since 9/11, and you are frustrated and angry with the way our
military has been used and abused to wage an occupation against the people of Iraq,
then know that you are not alone. On October 27th, veterans, soldiers, and citizens
will gather in 11 cities around this country in a national expression of the breadth
and depth of antiwar sentiment in this nation. One of the biggest gatherings of IVAW
members will be in Boston, where IVAW members from across the Northeast will come to-
gether for a fundraiser on Friday night, the march on Saturday, and a regional meeting
immediately following the march. If you are a veteran or active duty person interested
in meeting IVAW members in Boston, please email [email protected] or [email protected]

The Seattle chapter has also been integral in the planning of their regional march, please
contact [email protected] to connect with fellow veterans in the Northwest. For
additional information on regions and chapters participating in the October 27 marches and
demos, including those in NYC, LA, and Orlando, please contact the regional coordinator or
chapter in your area, http://www.ivaw.org/chaptersandregions.
Check www.Oct27.org for directions to the events and additional information.

Supporting veterans and active duty service members

7. That was thrown together quickly; last I checked, there was nothing

happening here. I already have plans but it's supposed to be a glorious day in the neighborhood!

[Breeze54]

8. I don't know when those events were planned. Maybe the

organizers had some problems/logistics to work out.

Sometimes it's the permits or something else and you

don't want to commit until you know it's solid.

Have a great day anyway!! :hug:
