TROOPS OUT!
MARCH 17TH INTERNATIONAL / PAN CANADIAN DAY OF ACTION
AGAINST THE WARS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ
This note is being sent out to a number of groups and individuals in the West
Kootenay from the Nelson Peace Coalition.
On Saturday March 17th at 11:00 am many individuals and groups from
throughout the
West Kootenay will gather at the White Building in Nelson to protest Canadian
troops' combat role in the US-NATO lead war in Afghanistan.
Whether you are concerned that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President
Bush are
escalating troop deployment, President Bush is promoting the fear-factor
of nuclear
threats from Iran, recruitment of young Canadians is stepping up through
prime-time
advertisements and targetting of colleges, high schools and sports teams,
or more
women and children and men and soldiers are dying in Afghanistan and
Iraq..... now
is the time to make one's voice heard!
The Nelson Peace Coalition encourages you to attend! Bring yourself, your
family
and your friends. Bring signs. Bring your organization's banner. Bring
noise
makers. And come to hear speakers, sing songs, hear poetry, and join your
voice
with hundreds of thousands of others around the world in an international day
calling for peace.
See you on Saturday March 17th!
Peace,
The Nelson Peace Coalition
