At least
574 U.S. cities and towns holding Mar 18-20 antiwar events
Dear friends: After two years
of pointless destruction and an incredible waste of lives and dollars, the
movement in the
United States to
end the Iraq war is reaching into more communities than it ever has. Below
is a list of 574 cities and towns, in all 50 states plus the District of
Columbia, that are holding events this weekend to mark the two-year
anniversary of the Iraq War. The impressive number and vast geographic
spread of these events reflect the growing breadth of the movement to bring
the troops home now, which is garnering new support with each passing month.
Last year, on the first anniversary of the war, 319 cities and towns
across the United States organized events; with listings continuing to pour
into our website, we expect that number may double this year.
The list below has been compiled from numerous sources, principally from the
United for Peace and Justice events calendar and the anti-war vigil
listings of the American Friends Service Committee and Sojourners
Magazine. You can also find it on the www.unitedforpeace.org
<http://www.unitedforpeace.org> website, where it will be updated
daily all week long.
Please, if you know of events that are not represented below, list them
on our calendar so we can have the most complete possible compilation of
U.S. anti-war events taking place this weekend. All best,
Leslie Kauffman
