Report back from Camp Casey, Crawford, Texas
In the wake of the Katrina disaster, many are asking, "why are tens of thousands of National Guard troops in Iraq?" Out of Iraq now!
Monday, September 12

Grand Lake Theater, Oakland
3200 Grand Avenue
Zero to $10 donation requested
Thousands came to Crawford, Texas in August to support Cindy Sheehan's challenge to President Bush to explain his administration's war in Iraq. A simple request from a bereaved mother inspired and galvanized the peace movement. Come find out what Camp Casey was like on the ground from people who were there, hear first-hand accounts of the war being fought in our name, and learn why the movement launched in Crawford by military families, vets, and activists is turning the tide.
A benefit for the Veterans for Peace "Camp Casey" in Covington, Louisiana currently providing relief, including food, shelter, and a communications center, to hundreds displaced by the Katrina disaster in coordination with the local Red Cross. More info: http://www.vfproadtrips.org/
