From May 8th to May 17th, 2008, New York citizens will be marching across the state to bring support to our active duty soldiers and Iraq Veterans Against the War. This march will be an act to rebirth our civic duty and responsibility to defend our Constitution and strengthen our resolve to stop the damage this unjust, illegal, and immoral war is doing to our families, communities, the world and most of all, soldiers.

Join with Veterans, teachers, students, laborers, farmers, children, young and old to call for an end to war, specifically the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As the United States begins the sixth year of the war on Iraq,

• Over 4,000 U.S. soldiers have been killed and more than 60,000 wounded
• Over 1 million Iraqis have been killed
• It is estimated up to 4 million Iraqis have been made refugees.
The United States spends $275 million per day
on this war.

Support the work of the Different Drummer Café, veterans, and active duty soldiers who are courageously standing up to say this war must end.

In this election year, vote with your lives, vote with your feet, as well as the ballot.

Walkers will be hosted each night by communities en route and will have many outreach opportunities.
