Saturday Peace Vigil in Davis

(from adc sacramento)

According to a study published last month in the respected British medical

journal, The Lancet, 100,000 excess civilian deaths have happened in Iraq

since the US invasion in March 2003: "Violence accounted for most of the

excess deaths and air strikes from coalition forces accounted for most

violent deaths." Nearly half of the dead were children under 15.

The U.S. assault on Falluja is a catastrophic action that will result in

more horrific and unnecessary bloodshed, fuel anger and resentment against

the U.S., and swell the ranks of terrorist groups. We need to raise our

voices in opposition to this attack and call for our troops to be brought

home now.


Community members are invited to participate in a peace vigil to protest the

attack on Falluja and to remember, honor and mourn the victims of the

occupation, this Saturday, November 13, 11am - noon, at the G Street Plaza,

Davis (G Street between 2nd and 3rd Streets), rain or shine. Everyone warmly

welcome!


Saturday G Street vigils were organized by the Davis Friends Meeting

(Quakers) three years ago in response to the US bombing of Afghanistan and

continue as a weekly witness for peace. For more than 300 years, Quakers

have opposed all war as inconsistent with God's will, and have worked for

reconciliation and active nonviolent resolution to conflict. During the

Vietnam War, Friends and other opponents of the war held a weekly vigil at G

Street Plaza for nearly 10 years. Information: 758-8575.


Peace,

Cindy
