Philly Against War
No to the Wars at Home!  No to the Wars Abroad!
A Rally & Cultural Festival
Saturday October 15 / 11 AM - 4 PM at Independence Mall

We are asking all of our friends and allies in the antiwar movement and in all the various movements for social change to endorse an antiwar rally and cultural festival in Philly on October 15.  We are calling it "Philly Against War" to state that the people of the city are against all of the wars, on people of color, women, immigrants, Muslims, workers and oppressed people here in the US, and against all the wars abroad from Afghanistan to Libya, from Pakistan to Iraq to Palestine and still others.  We demand that these wars stop and all the money be used to fund human needs right here.

The event is shaping up to be an exciting cultural fair with a strong participation from various performers.  There will be live music (reggae, samba, Mexican drumming, hip hop), poetry and a variety of speakers on important subjects.  Endorsing groups are encouraged to bring a table and even a display to highlight the wars at home and abroad.  Please RSVP if your group would like time to make a short statement.  PAW is asking endorsing groups to donate $25 to help defray the costs of publicity and putting on the rally.

Help us be a part of this exciting event!  Please send endorsements, along with how you would like your organization to be listed and the name of a speaker (if applicable), to phillyag...@gmail.com
