Wed, March 19th. 6-8 pm. Iraq War Vigil
Location: Esther Short Park. Candles are not allowed by City. Flashlights covered with paper cups can simulate candles.
The war in Iraq has gone on for nearly five years. The unbearable costs at home and abroad keep mounting. It's clear that Americans are ready for a real change in direction. On March 19th, tens of thousands of people across the country will gather to observe the fifth anniversary of the war with candlelight vigils. We'll commemorate the sacrifices too many families have made, and the billions of dollars wasted in Iraq that could have been better invested at home. Sponsored by MoveOn Vancouver .
Tues, March 25th. 7:00pm - 8:30pm. Vancouver for Peace Film Night - TBA.
