[pjw] EVENT REMINDER/UPDATES: "9/11: Twenty Years of War, Stoking Fear, Erasing Rights and Misdirected Funding" Fri 9/10/21 4:30 PM

[Peace and Justice Works]

Hi again Iraq AG supporters
As the frantic un-occupation of Afghanistan continues, we're still 
planning on holding our event talking about the wars, fearmongering, 
rights infringements and vast tax dollars wasted since 9/11 on Friday Sept. 
10 to mark 20 years since that day.

We now have two organizations endorsing the event. The updated info is on 
the web page at http://pjw.info/911_20yl.html where there's also a link to 
the updated flyer.

Since our policies have been consistent since the beginning of the 
pandemic, we don't have to change anything with the Governor's new outdoor 
mask order (which starts this Friday).

Anyway, feel free to share out, and if you want to donate to support this 
particular event please do so! A non-partisan organization (not a 
political party or campaign) which wants to donate can be listed as a 
cosponsor, groups who just like the idea and will help promote it can be 
listed as endorsers.

Thanks

    Join Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group on Friday, September
    10, 2021 to mark the devastating 20th anniversary of 9/11. Speakers
    will address issues that have plagued America and thus, the world,
    after the US chose to start endless wars rather than seek justice.
    Other than the wars, which expanded from Afghanistan to Iraq, Yemen,
    Pakistan, Libya, Somalia and Syria, topics will include threats to
    civil liberties / the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay and the rise in
    Islamophobia and anti-immigrant sentiments. The event, titled "9/11:
    Twenty Years of War, Stoking Fear, Erasing Rights and Misdirected
    Funding", takes place at the weekly Friday Rally for Peace and Justice
    at Pioneer Courthouse Square, SW Yamhill and Broadway, starting 1/2
    hour earlier than usual at 4:30 PM.

    The Friday Rally for Peace and Justice began less than two months after
    9/11 when Portland Peaceful Response Coalition gathered at Pioneer
    Courthouse Square every week. It has continued from Nov. 2001 to the
    present, with PJW's Iraq Affinity Group hosting since the COVID
    lockdown began in March, 2020. Event endorsed by Peace Action Group of
    the First Unitarian Church and Oregon Progressive Party.

    Event coordinated by Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group. For
    more information, or if your group would like to cosponsor or endorse
    this event, contact Peace and Justice Works at 503-236-3065 or
