Vigil Protests in Kansas City, MO

As war with Iraq continues to be unquestioned by the majority of Americans, those opposed must speak out. We do not want our silence to indicate that we consent to this aggression.

Therefore, the KC Iraq Task Force has organized opportunities to take a public stance
against the war. In solidarity with Voices in the Wilderness, we will hold a 23-foot banner which reads "LET IRAQ LIVE" and pass out leaflets, witnessing to others that not all Americans
are hungry for war. Please join us.
