Courage to Resist Peace Dinner Benefit

August 1, 6:30 p.m., Rockville, MD


Saturday, .Steve Yoczik, an active member of Courage to Resist who went AWOL rather than participate in our war in Iraq, will tell us how we can support the troops who refuse to fight. Go to www.couragetoresist.org to learn more about this powerful voice for peace.

We will watch the video Rethinking Afghanistan, a ground-breaking, full-length documentary by Robert Greenwald focusing on what military escalation will lead to in Afghanistan. After the video, we'll discuss
people's views and thoughts about this war.

We will ask you to personalize and sign a letter to your Congressperson, urging him or her to support Representative Jim McGovern's H.R. 2404, calling for an exit strategy from Afghanistan. One of us will hand deliver your letter to Capitol Hill.

E-mail info@PeaceActionMC.org to RSVP and for directions.

We meet at the home of a accomplished Iranian chef, who will personally prepare the evening’s meal. Suggested donation $20, no one turned away! Organized by PeaceAction Montgomery.
