On March 16, through visible citizen participation in this pro-peace, anti-war gathering, we will send a strong message to our elected
representatives and our fellow citizens as we mark the 5-year anniversary of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq: It is time to END THIS WAR!

We are nearly 20% of the way towards reaching our goal and with your help we can reach the goal of having at least 1,000 people on
March 16!

Please help spread the word about March 16 to friends, family and local groups/organizations in which you are involved. Let us know if you
would like to have informational handouts to distribute.
