"No To War!" Teach-In
A Day of Learning, Protest, and Solidarity. You've heard the case for war on Iraq from Bush and Blair, Fox and CNN. Now is

allotted for discussion from the audience. This event is free and open to the
public.

Protest Against the War

war with Iraq and want the U.S. government to pursue a peaceful resolution to
the conflict. Hear speakers, poetry, and music at this special event. Free food

conscientious objector during the Gulf War in 1991, which prompted a six-month

possible war against Iraq.
