the construction there.

EVENT: ""The US Attack on Syria One Year Later" Visibility Action
Wednesday, September 23, 2015 4:00 PM

"Call Out for Justice: End the Wars"
Rally and March
Wednesday, September 23, 2015 4:00 PM
SE Hawthorne & Grand (East end of Hawthorne Bridge)

On Wednesday September 23, 2015, one year since the US began bombing Syria 
under the guise of fighting the Islamic State/ISIS, Portlanders will gather to 
protest the ongoing US military action. The Peace and Justice Works Iraq 
Affinity Group is coordinating a visibility action featuring its 12-foot-tall 
"tower of peace" at the east end of the Hawthorne Bridge (SE Hawthorne & 
Grand) from 4:00 to 6:00 PM that day.

The US continues to assert that one of their goals is regime change in Syria, 
training and arming "moderate" rebels, while at the same time tacitly 
supporting Al Qaeda offshoot the Nusra Front since they too are fighting ISIS. 
Meanwhile, the US has now gained full cooperation from Turkey, which is using 
the chaos as an excuse to bomb Kurdish nationalists in Iraq and Syria, even 
though those Kurdish fighters have proven the most effective at keeping ISIS 
from holding territory. The best solution? Stop US intervention and have a 
United Nations brokered negotiation, provide massive humanitarian aid and help 
resettle refugees.
