Join us for a demonstration to oppose the Iraq war on Saturday, March 17th. We are calling for an end to the war and bringing all the troops home now. We will gather to mark the 4th anniversary of the start of the Iraq war and call for "Not One More Death. Not One More Dollar." We will also be leafletting with the theme of encouraging young people to seek alternatives to military enlistment, and to resist the lures of military recruiters.

Gather at UW Library Mall at 12:30pm for musical satire and spoken word artists. Rally begins at 1pm with speakers. March steps off at 1:30pm. Bring signs and noise makers. Come early if you can volunteer to leaflet or help with another task.

This Thursday many Wisconsinites will converge on the
State Capital for a rally and march to ask for a full
investigation into the Downing Street memo. It is
hoped that hundreds will join us to help support
John Conyers' call for an investigation into the
Downing Street Memo.

At 5:30 we will march down State St. to the UW Library
Mall in a show of support and solidarity with those
marching in Washington DC and throughout the country.
It is our earnest hope that our voices will combine
into a noise big enough to be heard by our leaders,
and our media.

Please distribute this information widely.

The long and bitter Winter finally nears its end.  It's time for peace activists to pull our signs out of storage and hit the streets!  What better way is there to celebrate Spring's approach than to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade behind a radical marching band?  Join the Madison Area Peace Coalition "peace contingent" March 13th and show your spirit.  Help us remind the public that unnecessary wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are still being waged in our name, wasting our resources and destroying millions of lives.
