Join us on Wednesday evening, July 16th: to view some of the most powerful testimony given by the vets in Washington, to find out how you or your group can help amplify the voices of these courageous soldiers and support their resistance, and to learn about the “Soldiers of Conscience Support Network” being organized by IVAW and allies in the Boston area. 7:00 PM on Wednesday, July 16th Sponsored by: New England United, United for Justice with Peace, Stop the Wars Coalition, Massachusetts Peace Action, Iraq Veterans Against the War - Boston Chapter, Veterans for Peace-Smedley Butler Brigade, and the American Friends Service Committee.
