at 7:30PM (doors open at 6:45 PM)
at the Veteran's Hall in Santa Cruz
speaking about:

Making Change/Creating Peace!
What Each of Us Can Do Today, Tomorrow, the Next Day, the Day After
That, and.... to End the Iraq War and Remove the Neocons from Power!!

This is a rare chance to hear two of the foremost leaders in the peace
and justice movement today, giving each of us concrete ways that we
can TAKE ACTION NOW TO BRING THE WAR AND OCCUPATION IN IRAQ TO AN END,
REMOVE THE BUSH REGIME FROM POWER, AND RESTORE OUR DEMOCRACY!

MEDEA BENJAMIN, the cofounder of both Code Pink and Global Exchange,
has been an outspoken, and tireless opponent of the war against Iraq
and of the Bush Regime from day one!! She has led numerous fact
finding and peacemaking delegations to both Afghanistan and Iraq since
2002, including delivering $650,000 of aid to refugees of the war torn
city of Fallujah in 2005. A woman who walks her talk, she has been
arrested many times for committing acts of civil disobedience, in
order to bring the truth to light and move this country toward a path
of global peace and justice.

DAVID SWANSON is the cofounder of After Downing Street.org, a
coalition of activists that came together in May of 2005 in response
to the release of the Downing Street Memos. AfterDowning Street.org
recently received the Nation Magazine Online MVP award of 2005 in the
"watchdog" category! He is also the Washington DC director of
ImpeachPAC.org, and the cofounder of CensureBush.org. He works
tirelessly to expose the truth of the Bush Regime, and to remove them
from power, including working closely with Congressman John Conyers'
newest attempts to Investigate, Censure, and Impeach!!!

Together, they will inspire and inform us to TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION NOW!

Special guests Karen Meredith and Nadia McCaffrey will also join us.
Both are mothers who lost their sons in the Iraq war, and members of
Gold Star Families Speak Out!

Also featured: music by David Winters and the Raging Grannies and
theater by Art & Revolution.
