On March 21, 26 peace groups (including the Philadelphia Regional Anti-War Network) will hold a Baghdad Bombing Peace Event, from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m. near Senator Arlen Specter's home on West Schoolhouse Lane (at Vaux Street) in Germantown. They want Specter to cut off funding for the U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and to bring the troops home now.

The demonstrators want Specter to endorse a bill which will cut off Pentagon funding in Afghanistan and Iraq except for the safe return of all U.S. troops. They also want the closure of all Pentagon bases there.
