Protest U.S./NATO War in Afghanistan
on 9th Anniversary of Invasion
Wednesday, October 6, 5 PM
Powell & Markets Streets SF, CA
Fed up with this endless war? What was illegal, immoral and unjust 9 years ago under George W. Bush is just as illegal, immoral and unjust under Barack Obama — perhaps even more so now. The people of Afghanistan and the people of the world need and want to see visible protest and resistance – this Wednesday – from the people of this country against the towering crimes being visited upon them by our government. Come on out to the rally being called by the ANSWER Coalition and endorsed by World Can’t Wait and many other groups and individuals of conscience. Bring a sign, wear orange, or put on a detainees’ jumpsuit to remind people of the terrible price being paid by the Afghan people for the needs of this American Empire.
Make sure you look for the World Can’t Wait banner
"The Richest Country In The World Is Destroying One Of The Poorest . . . NOT IN OUR NAME!"
