Last week we featured a series of of antiwar events being planned by Nation readers in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania and in Memphis, Tennessee to mark this weekend’s second anniversary of Bush’s invasion of Iraq.
Continuing our countdown to March 19 and the nationwide series of rallies, marches, nonviolent civil disobedience and creative expressions of antiwar sentiment that are expected to meet the occasion, we wanted to highlight another day of events being organized by a Nation reader–Tom Moss–in Hunstville, Alabama.
Sponsored by the North Alabama Peace Network, Veterans For Peace AlabamaChapter, and Pax Christi Huntsville, the coalition asks people to join them from 3:00 to 10:00pm on March 19 at the Flying Monkey Arts Center in Huntsville. Activities will include a Children’s Playtime, an Artists’ Market, musical performances, photography exhibits, food, poetry and other entertainment. (For more info, email to [email protected] or call 256-468-5314.)
The antiwar coalition UFPJ reports that there are currently 583 antiwar events planned in cities and towns across the United States–nearly double the number of antiwar actions on the first anniversary of the invasion, a good reflection of the deepening doubts about the war after a disastrous year of continued body counts and billions of dollars wasted on an illegal and immoral occupation.
