EMERGENCY 24-Hour Peace-IN at Old City Hall
Calling all peace-loving people: Come to our EMERGENCY 24-Hour Peace-IN in front of Old City Hall in Berkeley.
City Council took a small stand against the powerful forces of the war machine last Tuesday when they voted to ask the Marine recruiting station to leave our town. Pro-war forces are retaliating. Council is feeling the pressure.
We need to BE THERE! To stand for peace, no matter what. To let Council know "We have your back! Join us 7:00pm Monday thru 7:00pm Tuesday prior to Council's meeting - and then stay for the meeting.

Calling all peace-loving people:
We need to protect our city from outside pro-war and religious right forces. We need to support our elected officials who represent our peace-loving stand.
The right has put out the call to invade our city 5:00a.m. on Tuesday morning Feb 12th.
They intend to spend the day further attempting to intimidate our peace-loving City and City Council while they hammer home THEIR war propaganda.
We are putting out the call for all peace-loving people to come to our Emergency 24-hour Peace-In Vigil in front of City Council Chambers.
This fight is about war and ending war. This fight is about ending recruitment of our youth to be the fodder of war. It is not about the marines. It is not about being anti-American. It is not about rights, freedom, or apple pie.
It IS about this occupation of Iraq : about the 1.2 million dead Iraqis, 3950 dead U.S. soldiers, trillions of dollars of our tax payer money, the attack on our civil rights and constitution, torture, rape, wounded and neglected soldiers, suicide, depleted uranium.
It IS about recruiting our youth to be the occupying forces.
Women say ENOUGH! Basta! The People of Berkeley say ENOUGH! Basta!
We MUST take back the language from the right: END WAR NOW! We MUST take back the messaging. We must stand up for Peace.
Bring your tent, sleeping bag, all your peace and anti-war banners, props, photos, hot pink fabric. Or just BE THERE!
