stop war in Iraq

[عمر عباس]

I invite you to participate in a remarkable statement for peace in Iraq on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

From May 11-14, the American Friends Service Committee will join with military families, veterans, Iraq war survivors, and peace supporters for “Silence of the Dead, Voices of the Living,” a four-day event that calls on Congress to bring our troops home now.

Anchoring this event is the AFSC’s widely acclaimed traveling exhibition: Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War. Eyes Wide Open features a pair of combat boots for each U.S. military casualty in Iraq and a dramatic new memorial to the Iraqis who have died in the war.

Come for one day or for several. Experience the exhibit (and volunteer if you have time), join the silent march and speak out on Saturday, and take part in other activities.

Visit http://www.afsc.org/eyes/ to get more information, sign up to volunteer, or send e-cards to invite your friends. We need as much help getting the word out and staffing the event as possible.
