[Imc-atlanta-audio] calendar, Ap.1-13

[Atlantaiac at aol.com]

Friends,
 
A major tour by Michael Hoffman, co-founder and national coordinator of  Iraq 
Veterans Against the War, will be in Atlanta from Ap. 8-13. There are  
numerous speaking engagements from high school and college campuses to  public 
programs, tv and radio shows.
The calendar is only listing the evening programs in Atlanta from Ap.  10-13. 
For a complete listing which includes events in Marietta, Watkinsville,  
Athens and elsewhere, please go to _www.georgiapeace.org_ 
(http://www.georgiapeace.org/) 
We encourage everyone to attend at least one of these events. In addition  to 
Michael Hoffman, other veterans and local members of Military Families Speak  
Out will be part of the program.
The growing opposition to the war and occupation from among soldiers and  
their families is a critical element in the movement to end US military and  
economic plans to control the Middle East and its resources.

Again we wish to thank all those who have contributed to reducing the debts  
incurred from holding the events and sponsoring the bus to  Fayetteville 
around the 2nd anniversary of the US invasion and occupation  of Iraq, especially 
the generous donation from the Georgia Peace and Justice  Coalition.
We will be having another fund-raising film showing at Manuel's Tavern  
towards the end of April and we feel confident that we will totally erase all  the 
remaining debt then. 
However, if you would like to make a donation now, please send any checks  to 
IAC at PO Box 424, Atlanta, Ga. 30301 or online, you can make a donation with 
 a credit card by going to _www.paypal.com_ (http://www.paypal.com/)  and 
entering _atlantaiac at aol.com_ (mailto:atlantaiac at aol.com) 
 
Thanks.
Dianne for the International Action Center
