SO>>>YES FRANCE, IT IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA

April 18, 2006 Dear Kathy, On Saturday, April 29th in New York City CODEPINK will be hitting the streets as part of a massive mobilization saying YES to peace, justice, democracy, environmental, civil and human rights. It’s time to turn this country around. We have had enough of the occupation of Iraq, the threat of military strikes against Iran, and the diversion of our resources away from the needs of people in this country into never-ending wars. We have had enough of the Bush Administration’s assault on our environment, our civil liberties, and our health and welfare. We are coming together with a broad coalition of activist groups to march, to speak, and to recommit ourselves to our shared values of respect for all people, our planet and our communities (for more information go to http://www.unitedforpeace.org/). Friday, 28th, 5-7 p.m. WELCOME RECEPTION & PRIVATE VIEWING Join CODEPINK New York at a wine & cheese welcome reception and private viewing of The War in Iraq: Year 4.
