Afghanistan Anti-War Organizing Meeting

First organizing meeting for Oct. 7 Protest/Die-In
to mark 10th anniversary of Afghanistan War

Stop the Cutbacks!
Money for People's Needs, Not for War!

Wed, Aug. 10, 7pm
2969 Mission St., SF (bet. 25th & 26th Sts.)

On Wednesday, August 10, 7 p.m. there will be the first organizing meeting for a protest/die-in on October 7, 2011. October 7 will mark the exact 10th anniversary of the current U.S./NATO war in Afghanistan. The meeting will take place at the new ANSWER Coalition office, 2969 Mission St., San Francisco, between 25th & 26th Sts., close to the 24th St BART station.

Hundreds of thousands of Afghani people have been killed, wounded and displaced, and thousands of U.S. and NATO troops killed and wounded.

A new study estimates that the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan could end up costing $4.4 trillion—$4,400,000,000,000. And the cost of these wars takes up less than one-sixth of the annual Pentagon budget.

Yet last week, President Obama and Congress—both Democrats and Republicans—have united on a program that will slash vital health, education, food, environmental and other programs, while leaving the war budget and huge tax breaks for the rich untouched. This is outrageous and we must say NO!

Join us in formulating an exciting action plan for October 7, and discussion of how we can build for the protest and die-in that day. It is likely that there will be considerable media focus on Afghanistan on October 7. It will be an important opportunity to for the anti-war/people’s movement to return to the streets—something that is needed now more than ever!

All who support the call for October 7 are urged to attend and become part of the organizing effort. Knowing that everyone is very busy, we will keep the meeting to 90 minutes max. Flyers and posters will be available to take from the meeting.

End the war in Afghanistan and all the wars and occupations!
—Palestine, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Haiti...
