Hello CodePink Seattle Women and Men,
Seattle Troops Home FAST is going strong! We will gather every Tuesday, and we encourage you to join us. This will be the 22nd day of fasting for our sisters in DC. We will stage this fast in solidarity with them, and to be a visible opposition to war in front of Cantwell and Murray’s offices. VERY VISIBLE! You can participate in any way that works for you, there is no requirement that you stay for the whole day. See www.CodePink4Peace.org for information on "Troops Home Fast" and tips on fasting.
When: Tuesday, July 25th (and following Tuesdays)
Where: Federal Building, 2nd and Madison, Seattle
Time: 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Goal: 48 fasters to represent 48 soldiers from WA that have lost their lives in this war
We welcome Military Families Speak Out and will be supporting their “Operation House Call” campaign. Please visit www.mfso.org. We also welcome Lt. Ehren Watada’s support group. Find out more at www.thankyoult.org.

Come dressed in your most outlandishly pink outfit, pull out the boas and wigs from the closet, bring some bubbles to blow, and be prepared to be part of an amazing action with a very energetic crowd! Spread the word...
