Raleigh anti-war and UNC pro-worker events this week

WAR IS A TIME FOR MOURNING NOT CELEBRATING

 

 

WHEN:      Saturday, April 26, 9:45 a.m.

 

WHERE:   State Capitol Grounds

WHY:        To mourn our nation's Endless War

WHAT:      Dress in black, and bring placards that say, "War is not   a time for celebration."

 

On Saturday, area bankers and businesses will "salute the troops" and celebrate war with a parade on the streets of downtown Raleigh . The warmakers will have plenty of hardware on display and F-!5 Strike Eagle death jets will fly overhead as the community turns out to say, "Yes to War."

War is a time for mourning, tears and sadness -- not a time to celebrate and show off the machinery of death. This macabre display is idolatry at its worst. Wear black clothes and bring signs decrying the celebration of this horrible war. Rather than a parade, we will form a funeral procession. People of peace must resist this recruiting tool to attract more of our young women and men to the military. The ONLY way to support the troops is to say, "NO TO ENDLESS WAR."
