ROSA PARKS DAY OF ACTION AGAINST WAR AND POVERTY: Dec. 1, 2005

We can't have peace in Iraq if there's no peace at home. We can't have
peace at home if our government doesn't address the forces creating
poverty and desperation in our cities. We can't address poverty if our
government is cutting billions from services to the poor in order to
finance the occupation of Iraq. On December 1, join us for a day of
actions to demand a change in the priorities of our community and our
nation.

STOP BUSINESS AS USUAL--No work, no school, no shopping

a whole lot more. FUNERAL MARCH AND PROTEST 4:15pm corner of Main &

We're going to have a funeral for victims of war, poverty, inner-city 
shootings, and Hurricane Katrina. We're going to march to the Military 
Recruiting Station, City Hall, County Legislature Building, and Federal 
Building, give eulogies, and post our demands for change on the door, 
Martin Luther-style. Come dressed in black.

and be entertained by incredibly talented students from the Eastman

justice, and take some time to socialize with the people with whom 
you've marched!
