Help SHUT DOWN military recruiting in Berkeley! And eventually around the country!

We are committed to having a HOT PINK presence for peace and against recruiting our vulnerable youth all day Wednesdays, from 7:30a.m. until 5:00p.m.

Special Events:
12:00 noon: Lift Our Voice In Song, usually with Betsy Rose, or Carrie Gerendasy (Average Dyke Band)

2:00pm Open Mike - share stories from the front lines (at the MRS)

3:00pm Dance for Peace with Dolores - tap, salsa hip hop our way to Peace!

PLEASE join us for a 2 hour shift if you are willing and able! We banner, hand out flyers, engage potential recruits and recruiters in conversing about their choices and ending the occupation.

We also have initiatives to get signed, play bridge, meet amazing folks, and exchange ideas and strategies while building hope and determination.

§I think I saw a difficult negotiation this morning at Shattuck Square

It looked like Code Pink was being shepherded out of the street by the Police, since their parking space permit doesn't work until noon --- and they were being written up by the permit guy for having their chairs and equipment on the sidewalk, since they don't have a permit for that. Someone was taping the whole thing and Zanne Joi looked confused. Darn.
