Rally and March: "IRAQ WAR III One Year Later"
Friday, August 7, 2015
5:00 PM

Downtown Portland
Expanded PPRC Friday Rally for Peace and Justice

Join community groups rallying and marching against the third US-led war on 
Iraq in 25 years. Launched on August 8, 2014, the US' "war on ISIS" has 
included thousands of bombing runs and untold deaths of civilians in both Iraq 
and Syria. The US continues to bomb and send more "advisors" despite the lack 
of an Authorization for Use of Military Force. At this event, we will also 
connect the war to police brutality and racism in the US. As Rodney King was 
beaten brutally by LA Police a few days after the end of "Gulf War Part 1" in 
March 1991, young Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, MO the day after the US 
re-launched its war in Iraq. The war comes home, again.

Cosponsored by
Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group and Portland Peaceful Response 
Coalition.

PPRC has held a Friday Rally for Peace and Justice every week since November 
2001, shortly after the invasion of Afghanistan. This will be their 724th 
continuous rally.
