This work is in the public domain.
Where: Washington, DC First Congregational Chuch
945 G. St. NW (Gallery Place Metro)
When: Thurs. Jan. 20th at 5 PM
Bush’s inauguration “celebrating” the slaughter in Iraq is a slap in the face to anyone who stands against his rotten war. But people are fighting back, from ordinary Iraqis to American GI’s refusing orders to fight. They are also being joined by people here at home - people whose sons and daughters are being asked to put on uniforms and go to Iraq, but are also being asked to pay a price in a lack of decent schools, healthcare, and jobs.
Come hear this unique panel of veterans, civil
rights, and anti-war activists to speak about how we can build a resistance to Bush’s drive toward empire and war.
