Where: Boston Common Brewer Fountain, Tremont St. Boston near Park St. Station
Protest Afghanistan Escalation
Troops Home Now from Afghanistan!
Stop the Escalation!
President Obama is considering sending more American troops to fight in Afghanistan. |
But this war isn’t making Americans safer. It is not bringing development, democracy, security, or women’s rights to Afghanistan. It is killing Afghan civilians and U.S./NATO troops. It is stealing badly needed funds from housing, jobs, health care, and climate protection.
If President Obama announces an escalation of troop levels in Afghanistan, peace and justice activists will protest the next day at 5pm, or at noon Saturday if the announcement comes on a Friday.
If the escalation is announced on the evening of Tuesday, December 1 as indicated by press reports, then the demonstration will take place at 5pm on Wednesday, December 2.
Assemble at Boston Common from 5-7 pm for a moving picket line. Meet at the Brewer Fountain, near Park Street Station. Bring banners, signs, costumes, musical instruments, pots and pans.
Community peace groups in Newton, Arlington, Newburyport, Cape Cod, and Salem, NH have also scheduled their own protests. Details will be posted here as it comes in.
