From Peace Action WI:
DEMAND US/NATO OUT OF AFGHANISTAN NOW!
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events/254322627991004/
At least 16 innocent Afghans (9 children) were slaughtered by a U.S. soldier in a shooting spree in Southern Afghanistan last Sunday. The massacre has fueled calls for a rapid withdrawal of US and NATO troops from Afghanistan.
However horrific, this was not an isolated incident! This is a continuation of atrocities that the Afghan people have suffered over the last decade of occupation from US and NATO troops. This war has killed tens of thousands of Afghans, cost over $500 billion, and resulted in the deaths of over 3,000 foreign troops, including 1,900 Americans.
MARCH FROM CHASE BANK TO US FEDERAL BUILDING
Join us this Tuesday, March 13, at 5:00pm outside Chase Bank on Water St. and Wisconsin Ave. where we’ll be briefly joining an Occupy Milwaukee protest about corporate greed before we embark on a march to the Big Blue Federal Building on 3rd St. and Wisconsin Ave. to demand: US/NATO Out of Afghanistan Now! and Money for Human Needs, Not War!
