Tell Rep. Pelosi: Represent Your Constituents! Speak Out Against the War!

Date:
Saturday, April 12, 2003
Time:
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Event Type:
Protest
Organizer/Author:
Global Exchange
Location Details:
Fairmont Hotel, 950 Mason Street (at California)

We will hold an alternative peace award ceremony and protest outside the Fairmont Hotel as Congresswoman Pelosi receives the Alan Cranston Peace Award inside. Please join us after the Civic Center/Dolores Park anti-war march and rally! San Francisco Bay Area residents are resolute in their opposition to the U.S. war against Iraq. We tried to stop the war before it started, and now that the U.S. has attacked, we want the war ended immediately to avoid future death and destruction. Unfortunately, our own Congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi, who is also the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, has decided that she no longer needs to represent our voices in the positions she takes on the war. Although she voted against the Iraq war resolution in October, since the war started the Congresswoman voted in favor of a March 20 resolution that expresses the "unequivocal support and appreciation of the Nation to the President as Commander-in-Chief for his firm leadership and decisive action in the conduct of military operations in Iraq as part of the on-going Global War on Terrorism." She also voted to approve Bush’s request for $80 billion in funding for the war. If Congresswoman Pelosi wants to be honored as a leader for peace, she needs to represent her constituents and speak out against the war! Please join us in protest as we give an award to the true peace leaders—the people of San Francisco! Sponsored by CodePink: Women for Peace, Global Exchange, International ANSWER, Jewish Voice for Peace, and others. For more information, call 415-575-5555.
