Don't curse the darkness, light a candle.

Dear peace activists,

(On a completely unrelated note, someone left an orange scarf at the film
last night. Contact us if it is yours: info@peaceandjustice.it)

This Saturday, October 20 there will be a national demonstration in Rome
regarding the policies of the current center-left government including
everything from workers´ rights, to immigration, separation of church and
state, the environment as well as war and military spending
(http://www.20ottobre.org).

We will take advantage of this demonstration to hand out the attached flyer
(in Italian, apologies to those who don´t read the language) with our views
on issues involving the current Italian and U.S. governments (new U.S.
base in Vicenza, the Missile Defense System, the F-35 fighter planes, U.S.
nuclear weapons stored at Aviano and Ghedi, extraordinary rendition flights,
etc) as well as information on what the militarization of culture/society has
led to in the U.S.

John from the group U.S. Citizens Against War in Florence will be in town
with his trade union so this will also be a chance to meet up and catch up
with him and possibly others from Florence.

Meeting Point:
If you would like to join the team of volunteers handing out flyers, we will
meet at 2:30pm, Piazza della Repubblica, in front of the church Santa
Maria degli Angeli. Call 333 11 03 510 to find us and get flyers.

For more information or to let us know you are coming, please reply to
