Events for 05/28/2007

The majority of U.S. voters want an end to the American occupation of Iraq. Most of these citizens want the “TROOPS OUT NOW.” Peace activists long before March 19, 2003 shouted “NO ATTACK ON IRAQ. Veterans for Peace was founded in 1985 pledging that “We, having dutifully served our nation, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of WORLD PEACE.” Let us join together on Memorial Day to demand that our government abolish war as an instrument of national policy so that in a peaceful future there will not be a need for a “memorial” day.

This event will be held at the monument honoring the men and women from Wisconsin who fought against the fascist forces of Army General Franco in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939. (The monument is in James Madison Park at the corner of E. Gorham and Butler Streets, next to the Gates of Heaven Synagogue, in Madison, Wisconsin.)

Will Williams will introduce Clarence Kailin, a Volunteer of the 1936 Abraham Lincoln Brigade (Spanish Civil War) and member of Veterans for Peace. Kailin will be followed by other voices of peace. The main and final speaker will be the national president of Veterans for Peace, Elliott Adams.
