Ventura County Committee to Stop the War
  invites all groups and individuals to a

Planning Meeting to Protest the War
  at Oxnard military recruitment center

  Meeting:
  Saturday, July 19
  2 pm - 4 pm
  Topping Room of Foster Library, 651 E. Main St.
  Ventura

Ventura County Committee to Stop the War is planning an antiwar protest at the Oxnard Armed Forces Career Center, 2347 N Oxnard Blvd. in Oxnard. We are hoping to have the protest the month of July. We are considering a press conference with street theater to emphasize the disaster of war that enlistees may face. Our goal is to permanently close the center through an ongoing campaign.

Already we have committed to reaching out on Friday, July 4th with a petition in opposition to military recruitment. Signatories endorse a general statement to opposition to military recruitment in their communities, with the option of adding their communities' names and types (college, high school, town, etc.). Please come to help organize for the Fourth of July outreach in downtown Ventura.

If your organization has an interest in participating in the protest, please consider sending a representative to this meeting. No one will be expected to commit any organization to any action; instead, protest planners can report to their groups important details of the meeting.

Contact VC Stop the War at vcstop...@gmail.com if you and/or your group would like to participate.
