Now is the time for Congress to force a change.\n\nOn March 19th, thousands of us from organizations across the movement will gather together to observe the fourth anniversary of the war through candlelight vigils. We’ll solemnly honor the sacrifice made by more than 3,000 servicemen and women, and we'll contemplate the path ahead of us. We cannot send tens of thousands of exhausted, under-equipped, and unprepared troops into the middle of an Iraqi civil war.\n\nJoin us at a candlelight vigil on Monday, March 19th. Honor the sacrifice. Stop the escalation. Bring the troops home.\n\n---\n---\n\n\n19 Mar 06:00 PM West Berkeley Candles for Peace - \nUniversity Ave. & San Pablo Ave.\n30 registered participant(s) \nUniversity Ave. & San Pablo Ave.\nBerkeley, CA 94702\nDirections: From out of town, take the University Ave. exit from I-80 and come up University Ave. to the third traffic light.\nDescription Candlelight peace vigil at the intersection of University and San Pablo Aves.\n\n\n19 Mar 06:00 PM Vigil and Memorial for the Iraq War Dead \nNorth Shattuck Avenue (@Cedar)\n60 registered participant(s) \n1538 Shattuck Ave.\nBerkeley, CA 94703\nDirections: Vigil is at Cedar and Shattuck going North toward Cheese Board and on both sides of Shattuck if we have enough people.\nDescription Vigil to End the War in Iraq Stand with us in a vigil as we mark the fourth anniversary of the Iraq War with singing, a few words, and candlelight to light up the night.
