Direct Action against War Profiteers

Shut Down the War Profiteers!
Gather outside eTrade, NE corner of Market at Sansome 7:00AM
Monday November 18

To prevent this war, we will need to take action,
not just to voice our opposition but to interfere
directly with the operations of war, to interrupt
the functioning of the illegitimate government
which promotes this war, and to disrupt the
corporations in whose interests it is waged.
