IVAW needs your help with Winter Soldier Northwest
In 1971 Vets from the Vietnam War, organized by Vietnam Veterans Against the
War, came together to provide testimony about the horrific events that occurred
during the War. Many spoke about the killing innocent civilians, rape, and
torture that they had witnessed and taken part in.
Last month Iraq Veterans Against the War held a similar event in Washington D.C.
The audio from that event will be played all this weekend (starting Saturday
morning) on http://www.GIRadio.org.
Please listen in.
IVAW Seattle Chapter 8 will be holding a regional Winter Soldier at Seattle's
Town Hall on May 31st. The event will be followed by a march to the Federal
Building. Our intent is to fill Town Hall to capacity then to own the streets of
Seattle.
While Winter Soldier in Washington D.C. was powerful and moving to all that
witnessed it and it was well covered by media from around the world, it was not
covered by major media in the United States. We want this to be different. We
need to make enough noise on the streets of Seattle that the media can't ignore
this event.
To do this IVAW needs the help of the people and organizations of the region.
Please distribute this email as far and wide as possible.
We also need volunteers to help with crowd control, media, setup, permits,
logistics, and housing.
Please email or call me with any questions.
