Fox Valley Anti-war Event (St. Charles, from 2003-02-15 11:00 to 2003-02-15 13:00)

Fox Valley Citizens for Peace will hold a demonstration against the war on February 15th. On that day, people all over the world will be standing up against War in Iraq, and we want to bring that anti-war message to our own community and to be a visible presence here in the conservative suburbs. From 11:00 AM till 1:00 PM, we will gather at Route 64 and First Avenue in St Charles, and line up along the bridge over the Fox River. Depending on how many of us there are, we may line both sides of the bridge. We will have signs and flyers. Please spread the word, and invite others to join us. We want to co-ordinate this with similar efforts that will be going on in Chicago and in the other communities in Northern Illinois. Some of us may be attending other such demonstrations in neighboring communities at other times that weekend. Call 847-742-6602 for information or to make suggestions.
