Code Pink calls for vigil in SF Thursday at 5pm

CODE PINK BAY AREA ALERT!

Code Pink SF-Bay Area joins a
coalition of peace groups calling for nationwide candlelight
vigils mourning the deaths of 1,000+ U.S. soldiers and thirteen
thousand Iraqi civilians. (See text below.)

Meet at UN Plaza;
Market Street (btwn 7th and Hyde), San Francisco
5:00
p.m.
Thursday, September 9th.

Bring candles, wear pink and/or
black. If you cannot join us at the UN Plaza, organize a vigil in your
own neighborhood.

One Thousand Young Americans Have Died in
Iraq, Almost Seven Thousand Are Maimed, and Many Thousands of Iraqis
Have Died. The President Won't Mourn Our Dead, But We Will. Please join
CODEPINK and hundreds of other peace and justice groups to say: Enough
to Endless War and Suffering, Bring Them Home NOW.

TAKE ACTION:
ORGANIZE A PEACE VIGIL THIS THURSDAY, SEPT. 9, 2004!

We
will remember the 1,000+ US servicemen and women who have died in
Iraq.

We will remember the many thousands of Iraqis--civilians
and combatants, men and women, children and the elderly--who have been
killed.

We know that the current administration has plunged us
into this unjust and unjustifiable war, driven by greed for oil and
lust for power and fueled by lie after lie.

We want an end to
the occupation so the Iraqi people can determine their own destiny free
from foreign interference and control.

We want our troops brought
home now. And we want them treated right when they return. Give them the
benefits they were promised and give them the help they will need to
heal their bodies, their minds and their spirits.

We will
remember, honor and mourn. We will not forget!
