The effort requires at least two people per station to distribute leaflets and black ribbons between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Not available on Friday morning? You can also leaflet at your local farmer's market or downtown shopping area on weekends; the Iraq Moratorium project is trying to get the word out as widely as possible, anywhen we can.
