EVENT: "No More Invasions, No More Wars:
The Occupation of Iraq, Four Years Later"
Dual-opportunity visibility action
Monday, March 19, 2007
Terry Schrunk Plaza
12:00 noon-2 PM: Lunchtime Demonstration
4 PM-6:30 PM: Evening Visibility Action and Message to the Iraqi People

The Message to the Iraqi People will be organized with several dozen volunteers between 6:15 and 6:35 PM and should be visible from the ground and from the air.

The noon demonstration will feature speakers connecting the occupation to the various US foreign and domestic policies reflected in the subthemes of the day's events, such as spending money for human needs, not war, and restoring civil liberties. The evening event will feature representatives from about a dozen ongoing peace actions in the greater Portland area who will talk about their actions to end the war and occupation in Iraq. There will also be music at both events and a handful of literature tables from peace and social justice groups organizing the event.

The subthemes for the Monday, March 19 events are:

--Bring all the troops home now!
--Money for jobs, health care, education, housing and the environment--not war.
--End the US occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the US-supported Israeli occupations of the West Bank and Gaza
--Reject the "Long War on Terror" and say no military action in Iran, Syria, North Korea, Somalia, or anywhere else under that banner
--Close the US prison camp at Guantanamo Bay and end the assault on civil liberties at home
