Were you able to watch "Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan" last month? Like many of us, you were not able to see this important event. As expected, the corporate, mainstream media completely ignored this testimony. Are they afraid that the American people will learn the truth about our occupation of these two countries?

Please join us on Wed. April 2nd, as we will show clips of this historic event.

Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan featured testimony from U.S. veterans who served in those occupations, giving an accurate account of what is really happening day in and day out, on the ground.

The four-day event brought together veterans from across the country to testify about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan - and present video and photographic evidence. In addition, there were panels of scholars, veterans, journalists, and other specialists to give context to the testimony. These panels covered everything from the history of the GI resistance movement to the fight for veterans' health benefits and support.

In addition to the Winter Soldier screening, we will have:

Ideas on how to use your upcoming "surplus check" (bribe) from Dubya.
Reports back from the recent Democratic Party Convention in San Jose.
Updates on local political campaigns & offices.
Reports from recent Blue Diamond organizing actions.

We look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers, SFD
