On October 27th, people from all walks of life will gather in 11 sites around the country for massive regional demonstrations against the war. These nationally coordinated events are being built and mobilized by groups across the country, and coordinated by UFPJ. The people of this country want the war to end, but Washington has failed to take decisive action. With each passing month, nearly 100 servi- cepeople and countless more Iraqis are killed, some 12 billion of our tax dollars are spent, and the death and destruction continue. Our communities—from New Orleans to Minneapolis—are neglected and suffer the consequences. From Vermont to California, from Florida to Wisconsin, the people have spoken: We want this war to end, and we want it to end now!
