Dear Peacemakers,
I am writing to ask you to join the Twin Cities Peace Campaign, and others in an EMERGENCY PROTEST to say “no” to the attack on Marjah, Afghanistan:
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2010
4:30 pm in front of the office of U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar
1200 Washington Avenue So., Minneapolis
STOP THE ESCALATION IN AFGHANISTAN: SAY `NO’ TO THE ATTACK ON MARJAH END THE WAR! BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!
In a new escalation of the war in Afghanistan, U.S. & NATO forces have launched an attack on the city of Marjah, a city with over 80,000 residents. Following the dispatch of thousands of additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan, the attack on Marjah represents a new and potentially bloody escalation.
Tens of thousands of Afghan civilians are in imminent peril as U.S. and NATO military forces attempt to enter the city of Marjah. Will Marjah, Afghanistan, suffer the same fate as Fallujah, Iraq, which the U.S. also attacked, leaving thousands dead and injured and thousands of buildings and homes damaged or destroyed?
Please join the emergency protest on Thursday, February 18, to speak out against this new escalation of the war and to call for an end to the war and occupation. Gather at the offices of U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, 1200 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, 4:30 pm, to be part of a visible anti-war action and to tell Washington to stop escalating the war in Afghanistan!
