DESCRIPTION:Iraq Moratorium – Monthly Action to Stop the War\n\nPicket and Protest to 
 Counter Military Recruitment\n\nBring signs and banners (some provided) ~ 
 Street theater by Raging Grannies Action League\n\nPart of the Iraq 
 Moratorium project, an escalating monthly series of actions demanding an 
 end to the war.  Starting on Friday, September 21 and on the third Friday 
 of every month thereafter, people across the U.S. are taking the time to 
 show our President and Congress that our troops must be brought home, now!  
 \n\nUniformed U.S. Army Officers lunch with students in elementary-school 
 cafeterias. Army training programs, including rifle and pistol instruction, 
 replace physical education in middle schools. With unchecked access, 
 military recruiters are taking to the halls of U.S. schools like never 
 before in an attempt to bolster a military in crisis. However, even as 
 these destructive efforts to militarize youth accelerate, so do the 
 creative and powerful efforts of students, community members, and veterans 
 to challenge them. Today, the counter-recruitment movement—from 
 counseling to poetry slams to citywide lobbying efforts—has become one of 
 the most practical ways to tangibly resist U.S. policy that cuts funding 
 for education and social programs while promoting war and occupation. 
 Without enough soldiers, the U.S. cannot sustain its empire.\n\nIraq 
 Moratorium events in the Peninsula and South Bay are organized or endorsed
