March 19th:

The 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, we call on Rochester to stand in solidarity with people throughout
the country and the world to express our opposition to this war and occupation.
Many will call in sick to work and school that day to express how we really feel. Can’t afford to take off work?
Get creative on your lunch break and join us at the rally that evening.
We invite you or your organization to take action. To mourn, to dance, to drum, to meditate to come up with the best way you can to express your opposition, sorrow, outrage and hope.

Join in the many actions already organized.
