Submitted by ujpadmin on Mon, 10/05/2009 - 9:42pm.

When: Wednesday, October 7, 2009, 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm

Where: Harvard, Central, Porter and Davis Squares • Cambridge and Somerville

Start: 2009 Oct 7 - 5:30pm

End: 2009 Oct 7 - 6:30pm

Wednesday, October 7^th is the 8th anniversary of the war on Afghanistan, a war which UJP was formed to oppose.

To mark this date, the Cambridge and Somerville/Medford UJP community groups will be standing out at T- stops from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. We will be distributing information about the costs of the war, for Afghans, for US troops and for our communities, and alerting people to the Oct. 17^th anti-war rally at Copley Square. We will gather at the Central Sq., Harvard Sq., and Porter Sq. T-stops in Cambridge and at Davis Sq. in Somerville.

At Harvard Square, the Raging Grannies will sing at 5:30pm, and there will be a creative action in addition to vigiling and leafleting. We invite all to join us there, or at one of the other T-stops, if that is more convenient.

Dorchester People for Peace will also leaflet at the Ashmont T-Stop on Wednesday morning from 7:30-9am.

Milton for Peace will stand out on Blue Hill Ave. near Mattapan Square from 7-8am.

The tide is turning away from further escalation of the war on Afghanistan. It's time to bring the troops home now and end this war which is bad for Afghans and bad for Americans. It's a time when we can make a difference. Come stand with us on Oct. 7^th.
