The White House has tried hard to silence the voices
of those who question the war by calling them
unpatriotic and unsupportive of the troops. They have
tried to prevent discussion and debate. But military
families, veterans, and workers who are paying the
price of a misguided war in Iraq are breaking the
silence. Join us for an evening of discussion and
organizing around the demand, “Support our troops – by
bringing them home!” Find out too how you can get on
the bus to NYC for the protest outside the Republican
National Convention.

Presented by the Bring Our Troops Home (BOTH)
Coalition including the American Friends Service
Committee, the Burlington Peace and Justice Center,
Military Families Speak Out, the International
Socialist Organization, and the Burlington Anti-War
Coalition (BAWC)

Free and open to the public with a special welcome to
families of soldiers, veterans, and union members.
Help us build Military Families Speak Out and US Labor
Against War in Vermont.
