[pjw] Rally/March: "No U.S. War in Iran or Venezuela" Sunday 7/28/19 1 PM

[Peace and Justice Works]

Hello again PJW supporters

I realized the most recent version of this I sent out did not have the 
location on it. Also, there are 30 groups on board, not 29 as I stated 
earlier, and KBOO is "now" a media cosponsor (I wrote "not" which the 
spell checker recognized as a word....). Please share widely!

Also, if you want posters/flyers/quarter sheets to hand out or post let us 
know. There's a limited supply at the office, but if you check in ahead of 
time I can make a batch for you.

There will be a march and rally on Sunday, July 28 primarily focusing on the 
possibility of US military intervention in Iran and Venezuela, but also calling 
attention to the use of sanctions as economic war. The event will take place at

from July 20 to July 28.

The main message of the event is "No U.S. War in Iran or Venezuela," adding 
that "Sanctions Kill People Too!" Other points agreed on by event organizers 
are:

     o Demilitarize America- war only serves the 1%
