Hey folks, an AWOL soldier who's been hanging out with us for two weeks is making an antiwar speech and turning himself in on Saturday, 12 PM, Freedom Plaza. This is a completely awesome and radical way to commemorate the "anniversary" of the invasion of Afghanistan.
Hope folks can make it out for this!
