DESCRIPTION:First organizing meeting for Oct. 7 Protest/Die-In\nto mark 10th 
 anniversary of Afghanistan War\n\nStop the Cutbacks!\nMoney for People's 
 Needs, Not for War!\n\nWed, Aug. 10, 7pm\n2969 Mission St., SF (bet. 25th & 
 26th Sts.)\n\nOn Wednesday, August 10, 7 p.m. there will be the first 
 organizing meeting for a protest/die-in on October 7, 2011. October 7 will 
 mark the exact 10th anniversary of the current U.S./NATO war in 
 Afghanistan. The meeting will take place at the new ANSWER Coalition 
 office, 2969 Mission St., San Francisco, between 25th & 26th Sts., close to 
 the 24th St BART station.\n\nHundreds of thousands of Afghani people have 
 been killed, wounded and displaced, and thousands of U.S. and NATO troops 
 killed and wounded. \n\nA new study estimates that the wars in Iraq, 
 Afghanistan and Pakistan could end up costing $4.4 
 trillion—$4,400,000,000,000. And the cost of these wars takes up less 
 than one-sixth of the annual Pentagon budget.\n\nYet last week, President 
 Obama and Congress—both Democrats and Republicans—have united on a 
 program that will slash vital health, education, food, environmental and 
 other programs, while leaving the war budget and huge tax breaks for the 
 rich untouched. This is outrageous and we must say NO!\n\nJoin us in 
 formulating an exciting action plan for October 7, and discussion of how we 
 can build for the protest and die-in that day. It is likely that there will 
 be considerable media focus on Afghanistan on October 7. It will be an 
 important opportunity to for the anti-war/people’s movement to return to 
 the streets—something that is needed now more than ever!\n\nAll who 
 support the call for October 7 are urged to attend and become part of the 
 organizing effort. Knowing that everyone is very busy, we will keep the 
 meeting to 90 minutes max. Flyers and posters will be available to take 
 from the meeting.\n\nEnd the war in Afghanistan and all the wars and 
 occupations!\n—Palestine, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Haiti...\n\nMoney for 
 Jobs, Healthcare and Education, Not for the Pentagon!!\n\nGet involved!
