Bring the Mandate for Peace to Washington DC - January 27


Military Families Speak Out, CodePINK, Veterans For Peace, and Instead of War invite you to travel with us from St. Louis to join a massive march on Washington DC, on Saturday January 27, to call on the new Congress to take immediate action to end the war.

On Election Day the voters delivered a dramatic, unmistakable mandate for peace. Now it's time for action. We will converge from all around the country to send a strong, clear message to Congress and the Bush Administration: The people of this country want the war and occupation in Iraq to end and we want the troops brought home now!

Join activists from throughout Missouri on a bus to Washington DC, leaving St. Louis midnight, late Thursday evening, January 25, and returning to St. Louis midnight, late Sunday evening, January 28. The total cost of travel and lodging will be $195 per person ($100 payable in advance). Some scholarship money may be available in case of hardship, depending on donations.

Hope to see you there! If anyone can donate so that I could attend, please let me know. I'm dying to be a part of this, but I am a very broke college student. Thanks!
