| Protest at Baywalk Saturday, Sept. 6th, 8:30-10:00 pmSpeak up for the people of Afghanistan who are suffering under increased U.S.-led bombings. Last week 60 children were killed in a U.S. airstrike, and 5 more kids were killed this week. Tell people that Afghanistan is NOT a "good war." We'll also be on the streets to tell the masses not to be tricked into thinking the Iraq war is going well. And we'll say that we disagree with U.S. aggression towards Somalia, Iran, Pakistan and Bolivia, among others, and that we feel South Ossetia and Abkhazia should be independent, not colonies of U.S.-backed Georgia.
This Saturday's protest will be in front of Baywalk, located at Second Avenue and Second Street, N in St. Petersburg (map). Bring your sign, or use one of ours.
