Regional March and Rally

Saturday, Nov. 17th

1pm

Percival Landing at 4th & Water St. March to City Hall on to the Port Plaza.

Organized by Olympia Port Militarization Resistance

Since November 5th, our port has been occupied by the war machines from Iraq. The anti-war community came out to nonviolently protest demanding an end to the revolving door of war through Olympia; they were met with pepper spray, pepper balls, batons, tear gas, bean bag rounds, and concussion grenades. We are marching to end a cycle of violence now reinforced by police. This is the beginning of community accountability of the police. With a mass community movement we can cut off the war through our ports. We allow what goes in and out of our port. Civilian cargo yes, military no. For more info email olypmr@riseup.net
