PITTSBURGH YOUTH AND STUDENTS AGAINST THE WAR
Please join Pittsburgh Youth and
Students Against the War on Saturday, October 4, for our fall antiwar rally,
"Troops Out Now!: Voices Against the Occupation of Iraq."
We have a host of exciting speakers who will speak on topics ranging from
the lies used to recruit young people into the military, to the treatment of
women in the military, to the brutality of the occupation, to the need for
an antiwar movement independent of the two parties and what way forward to
build the antiwar movement. Our speakers include Joyce Wagner and Jeff Smith
from Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Beverly Gaddy, a Pitt professor and
military mother, as well as several more local Pittsburgh activists.
Building an independent mass antiwar movement is as important now as ever
before. We came out in large numbers to protest the war on March 29. On
October 4, let's come out again for an amazing event and educate ourselves
about why our rulers in the United States are determined to continue the
Iraq war in spite of widespread opposition, and how we can build the antiwar
movement we'll need to turn that mass opposition into mass action and bring
the war to an end.
Join Pittsburgh Youth and Students Against the War, Pitt-Greensburg’s
Students for Peace and Justice, and others from around the region in
demanding "Troops Out Now! College Not Combat!!"
