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. <!--break--> <img class="dada-image-center" src="http://rochester.indymedia.org/sites/default/files/migrate_dada/5080_rosaparksbuttonjpeg.jpg"><br> <pre>STOP BUSINESS AS USUAL--No work, no school, no shopping<br /><br />ALTERNATIVE SERVICE PROJECT 9am-4pm<br />Help out at Poor People United's Human Rights House, located at 437 <br />Murray Street in Rochester.
