The Day After
The Washington peace community has developed an emergency response to the start of the war. On the day after the formal announcement, go to these local actions:
The Shirts Off Coalition is organizing a March of Resistance at the Eastern Market Metro at 7 a.m. And at 7:30 a.m., join the Critical Mass Race Against War at Dupont Circle.
Students for Peace and Justice is calling for an emergency walkout at 1 p.m. Assemble by the flagpole at your school (or other designated location as determined by your school's activists). Everyone is to remain on school premises until the end of the day. At 4 p.m., students from all over the county and the DC metro area will meet at Judiciary Square.
The Washington Peace Center wants you to come to a "War is Not the Answer" rally at Dupont Circle at 5 p.m. There will be speakers and music. For more information, call 202/234-2000
