Stop the War.... Teaneck
On Wednesday of Memorial Week, hundreds of military families, veterans, students, and neighbors will join together to hold a 3600 foot-long banner with the names of all of the U.S. troops and many Iraqi people who have been killed in the illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq.
They will be calling on the government to stop funding the occupation and bring all of the troops home NOW. We need to keep the funds here for people's needs and to take care of them when they get here. Send the contractor army of 180,000 home, too.
Over 350 volunteers are needed to hold the 20 foot long segments of the banner.
To sign up to participate, please call Paula: (201) 248-3169 or (201) 836-5834
When: Wednesday, May 28, at 4:30 to 6:00 pm
Where: National Guard Armory, Liberty Rd. and Teaneck Rd., Teaneck, NJ 07666
