Oct 27.org
Today, an amazing and powerful story is unfolding in this country. We've all known for some time that most people want the war and occupation in Iraq to end. For the first time, people from all walks of life will have an opportunity to be counted as part of a national, public protest without having to travel to Washington, DC, or New York City. People are responding, and looking forward to speaking with one voice to demand an end to this outrageous war.
Protests in 11 cities: Boston; Chicago; Jonesborough, Tenn.; Los Angeles; New Orleans; New York City; Orlando; Philadelphia; Salt Lake City; San Francisco; and Seattle.
GET INVOLVED TODAY. Your participation will help make this national day of action the massive outpouring for peace that it needs to be.
I will attend a demonstration on October 27th! SIGN UP
In North Carolina
Join organizations and activists from around the state and
country this SATURDAY.
PEACE RALLY & WALK OF REMEMBRANCE
for victims/survivors of war and torture (including
those 'rendered' to other countries for 'interrogation')
SATURDAY -- OCTOBER 27, 2007 at Smithfield, NC
SPEAKERS to include:
Iraq War Veteran Sgt. Jimmy Massey
Youth Leaders in the NCSTN coalition
psychologist Art Eccleston
ACLU-Georgia attorney and human rights activist Azadeh Shahshani
history professor and NCSTN activist Jerry Surh
scholars and activists from the Center for Theology and Social
Analysis in St. Louis and others ...
PERFORMANCE by Hip Hop Education the Rainbow ReSisters
... Kids' Activities ... Street Theatre
The rally is taking place in Smithfield, NC because Aero
Contractors, Ltd., a private federal contractor company linked
to extraordinary rendition flights, is located there. Anyone
who has seen the movie, 'Rendition' remembers the jet on the
Washington, DC tarmac that flew the suspect to Morocco
for 'interrogation'. Aero jets and Aero pilots have been
identified as flying planes/jets such as that one to black sites
in Europe and the Middle East with suspects.
