Please join the Green Party of Ventura County, Bernie Sanders Activists, Veterans for Peace, and other community groups at the Stand Up For Peace Rally, Friday, May 19, Corner of Victoria and Telephone (Ventura Government Center)
between 4:45 PM and 6:45 PM.
We will have a number of banners available but encourage you to be creative in making signs that will cause people to think about the impact of war.
Some ideas:
If war is the answer, we are asking the wrong question
War is just one more big government program
War does not determine who is right….only who is left
Across the country over 150 vigils are taking place to say No to War on Syria. We have been in the halls of Congress all morning and we hear Obama doesn’t have the votes. Tonight is the night to change the course of history. —From CodePink
