4/22: National Day of Protest Against Gas Guzzling, War Glorifying Hummers

by Code Pink
Join CodePink as we say no to the gas-guzzling behemoth that gets only
10mpg, pollutes the air at 2-3 times the rate of an average car, and helps
fuel our oil dependence as it drives us to war. There will be more than 20
simultaneous protests at Hummer dealerships across the country.

Thursday, April 22, Various Times
National Day of Protest Against Gas Guzzling, War Glorifying Hummers

Join CodePink as we say no to the gas-guzzling behemoth that gets only
10mpg, pollutes the air at 2-3 times the rate of an average car, and helps
fuel our oil dependence as it drives us to war. There will be more than 20
simultaneous protests at Hummer dealerships across the country. Demand that
car dealerships and manufacturers offer us more fuel efficient cars and
vehicles that run on clean energy. Promote alternative forms of
transportation!
