Cindy Sheehan and others are in the beginning stages of planning a bike ride from Casey Sheehan's grave in Vacaville, Ca to WashedUp, DeCeit (Washington, DC) to demand true and positive change.
The ride will begin on the day that Casey was KIA in Iraq (April 04) and end in DeCeit on July 3rd.
In his inauguration speech, Barack Obama, (the Drone Bomber) said: TIME TO ACT!
We wholeheartedly agree, but we believe that it is
WAY PAST TIME TO ACT:
To End Wars
To End immunity for US War Crimes
To End Suppression of our Civil Rights
To End the use of Fossil Fuels
To End Persecution of Whistle blowers
To End Partisan Apathy and Inaction

Oakland Peace Vigil
MONDAYS, Noon - 1:00 p.m.
in front of the Oakland Federal Building, 1301 Clay st. (2 blocks west of 12th St. BART station)
The weekly Oakland vigil was begun in the spring of 1998, shortly after Madeline Albright toured the country in her unsuccessful attempt to gain support for a war against Iraq. After a civil disobedience action to oppose the proposed attack, Ecumenical Peace Institute/CALC and Mustardseed Affinity Group decided to organize a weekly vigil to call for an end to the sanctions which were causing the deaths of 5,000 Iraqi children each month.
The vigil has continued since that time and other sponsors have joined in the effort.
The focus has changed. We now call for an immediate end to the war and the occupation of Afghanistan, a complete withdrawal from Iraq, and a cessation of all U.S. hostile actions in the Middle East.
Each week we hand out approximately three hundred flyers. Usually they are different each week, unless upcoming events are being announced.
* Ecumenical Peace Institute [www.epicalc.org] [510-655-1162]

* East Bay Coalition to Support Self-Rule for Iraqis
