Cindy Sheehan, the local peace activist and Gold Star Mother who has reinvigorated the anti-war movement throughout the country, will speak at the UC Davis Freeborn Hall on Monday, November 21, at 7:30 pm.

She began protesting in her hometown of Vacaville, California, and eventually camped out in front of President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas demanding that he speak with her. After the president’s vacation was cut short due to Hurricane Katrina, Sheehan has continued to speak out against the war and Bush’s policies. Cindy Sheehan founded Gold Star Families for Peace, and has worked across the nation on a wide range of progressive causes. Tickets are $10 general, $5 students on sale at Freeborn Hall Box office.
