Philly Against War
No to the Wars at Home! No to the Wars Abroad!
A Rally & Cultural Fair
Saturday October 15, 11 AM – 4 PM
Independence Mall (6th & Market Streets)

After years of war and economic crisis, it’s time to take a stand. Washington says we can’t afford to spend money to create jobs, protect the environment or to fund human needs, but billions are poured into costly wars overseas. We say enough. is enough.

Philly Against War will be a rally and fair, with music, dance, performance and speakers on a wide variety of issues. Stand up against the wars on people of color, women, immigrants, Muslims, workers and all the oppressed “at home” in the USA, and the wars abroad, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Palestine, and the undeclared wars in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa! A wide variety of performers and a colorful march promise to make this an exciting and vibrant event for all the anti-war movements.

The blog will be updated frequently as we have more details to share about the wonderful bands, performing artists and speakers who will be part of the rally. To take part yourself, please visit the Facebook event page (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=263736823661259) or contact [email protected] for more info.

I'll be there and probably be at the PSL table. Also same date as the janitors strike deadline (http://www.philly.com/philly/business/Janitors-weigh-strike-at-Liberty-.html). I'm kinda busy with the Occupy Philly events but I should be able to get over there.
