United for Peace - Oct. 27 marches against the war across the country
http://www.oct27.org/


10 Massive Demonstrations for Peace
Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle —
more soon to be announced!


The vast majority of the people in every corner of the country want this war to end, but Washington has failed to take decisive action. With each passing month, nearly 100 servicepeople and countless more Iraqis are killed, some 12 billion of our tax dollars are spent, and the death and destruction continue. Our communities -- from New Orleans to Minneapolis -- are neglected and suffer the consequences. From Vermont to California, from Florida to Wisconsin, the people have spoken: We want this war to end, and we want it to end now!

On Saturday, October 27th, people from all walks of life will gather at 10 sites around the country for massive regional demonstrations. This nationally coordinated day of outcry against the war in Iraq was initiated by United for Peace and Justice, the nation's largest grassroots antiwar coalition. And now many groups and organizations across the country are working on the October 27th mobilization.

You are invited to join this effort!
What we do now will help shape our future.
We the People must end this war!


Check back here soon for information on how to get involved in the demonstration near you.

8. Maybe not after today
The Minnesota game is that day, but now maybe I'll wait to see what the next few weeks bring. If it's more of the same, that Peace Train is starting to sound like a lot more fun.
