1. Here's the e-mail I got about it today:

Join the first Iraq Moratorium Friday, September 21, 2007



Wear a black armband, black ribbon, don’t buy gas, rally, contact elected reps!

Make visible your opposition to the war in Iraq and injustice at home!



Urgent appeal: Attend the Snellville peace rally organized

by Gwinnett activists in the heart of John Linder country.



Fri., Sept. 21, 5 to 6 pm

Bring Troops Home Now Rally in Snellville, Gwinnett County!

1905 Scenic Highway, Snellville 30078 (intersection with Ronald Reagan Pkwy).



Carpool from Atlanta—just a 35-40 min. ride.

Meet at 4 pm at Candler Park MARTA station; back by 6:45 pm.



The far-right claims Gwinnett progressives are an insignificant minority—which is not true.

Ben Smith, Gwinnett columnist, asserted in the 9/16/07 AJC: “Rallying against the war in Iraq

while in Snellville seems a little like passing out rain slickers in a desert.”

We ALL have a responsibility to support Gwinnett/DeKalb Citizens for Peace!

The Iraq Moratorium is named after the Oct. 15, 1969, Vietnam Moratorium.

That day, two million people, wearing black armbands and demonstrating, convinced many

leaders that they had to take action to end the Vietnam War. www.iraqmoratorium.org



Join the Iraq Moratorium on the third Friday of every month: Oct. 19, Nov. 16, Dec. 21!

Taking action with others nationwide, we can bring change!
