There will be protest against the invasion and occupation of Iraq from noon to 1:00 on the first Saturday of the next two months-- April 5th and May 3rd. These events will be at the corners of Bowman and Chenal in Little Rock. Please remember that these are peaceful demonstrations and that we are always supportive of the troops and their families. We believe that Peace is Patriotic! Invite your friends, neighbors and family members to come with you.
The Arkansas Coalition for Peace and Justice- www.acpj.org and WAND- www.arkwand.org are sponsors of these events.
The Sierra Club recently purchased 250 lawn signs that say NO TO DIRTY COAL YES TO CLEAN ENERGY.
This Friday at 5pm we are planning to go door to door getting petitions signed and asking people to put these lawn signs on their front yard. Considering we have a limited supply we will focus our canvassing on specific neighborhoods.
If you are interested in helping for an hour or so please let me know if you can make it. 336-455-1065 We will meet at my house at 5pm and if afterwards people want to get together for dinner or a drink that would be great!
