End the Occupations of Iraq and Palestine Vigil

Wednesday, 06 June 2007
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

End the Occupations of Iraq and Palestine
Time: 5:00 pm
Location: Marshall Avenue/Lake Street Bridge over the Mississippi River.

Event Description: This is the weekly vigil on the Marshall/Lake Street Bridge to protest the war in Iraq. Because June 6-11 is the 40th anniversary of Israel's 6 day war and the beginning of the occupation of Palestine, the weekly vigil to protest the war in Iraq will add the focus
of ending the occupation of Palestine. In addition to the signs usually provided, people concerned about Palestine will bring signs to highlight the connection between the two occupations.

Suggested wording:

End the Occupations of Iraq and Palestine
U.S. out of Iraq - Israel out of Palestine

Sponsored by Twin Cities Peace Campaign - Focus on Iraq and Middle East Peace Now; endorsed by WAMM- ME and other peace groups

Vigil is 5-6 followed by a circle (Gather on the East - St. Paul side) for announcements and solidarity.
