Friends-

1. Emergency Demonstration to support Cindy Sheehan – Monday, August 15 from 4-5:30 PM at McNamara Federal Building in Detroit. Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in the Iraq War, is camped outside Pres. Bush’s Crawford Texas ranch. More and more anti-war activists are joining her daily as she speaks out against the war in Iraq and the occupation of Palestine. Bush was forced to acknowledge the depth of anti-war sentiment in the country at a press conference. Most of us can’t go to Crawford, but we can show our support.

If you aren’t in the Detroit area, call an action at your local Federal Building. Everyone can call, fax, and email the White House and ask the staff there to contact the President on his ranch and ask him to meet with Cindy Sheehan.

2. Anti-war message at Detroit’s Labor Day Parade – Monday – Sept. 5.

MECAWI calls on all anti-war activists in the metro area to line both sides of Woodward Avenue starting at 10:00 AM at Grand Circus Park (cross street - Adams).

The AFL-CIO national convention went on record for a “rapid withdrawal of troops from Iraq.”

Let’s expand the message to “Money for Detroit, Not for War” and “Bring the Troops Home NOW!”

Bring your signs and banners. The whole parade will have to march past and we will have a sound system and literature.

For more information call 313-680-5508.
