Bay Area CODEPINK invites all peace and social justice friends to join us:
A DIFFERENT COMMEMORATION OF THE 9/11 TRAGEDY
In memory of those lives lost 10 years ago on Sept. 11, 2001
THESE ARE NOT OUR WARS! THE PEOPLE DECLARE PEACE!
In memory of those lives lost 10 years ago on Sept. 11, 2001
May their tragedy not continue to be manipulated to justify the violence committed by the U.S. in its perpetual wars and endless occupations.
In honor of their lives we call for an honest accounting of 9/11.
We honor the over 1.5 million Iraqi and Afghan civilians dead.
We call for compassion and understanding to trump hatred and racism.
We call for compassion and understanding to trump hatred and racism.
Join us on September 11th as we march across the the Golden Gate Bridge, from both the SF and Marin side to join in the middle to create an undivided line of people from one end of the bridge to the other.
At a pre-designated time, we will face eastward toward SF, joining hands held up high, and stand for 5 minutes together, to mourn for the 9/11 victims and to demand an end to the terror of U.S. wars, and illegal occupations.
> 11:00 am: Gather at either end of the GG Bridge (northeast or southeast side) for poetry, song, music, and connecting on both sides!
> 11:30-11:40 am: Begin single file march on the bridge. Bring signs, drums, other instruments.
> 12:15: A 5 min. joining of hands across the bridge in memory of all the victims of violence from 9/11 to the U.S. War on Terror, from victims of suicide bombs, to the victims of drone attacks. March will resume and end on the Marin side of the bridge.
