2000 Too Many!

Saying No to War and Occupation: Teach-in and Peace March
Nearly twice as many of our soldiers died in the 2nd year of our occupation of Iraq as died in first year of the conflict. The lowest estimate of the cost of the war to U.S. taxpayers is 200 billion dollars. However, the cost of this war is higher than the total of the dead and the dollars we've spent on it.

2000 Too Many!

Be in Times Square, 6:00-7:00 pm, the day after the 2000th soldier dies in Iraq!
As of today, 1992 soldiers have died in Iraq. Over 15,000 have been wounded. Tens of thousands Iraqis have died. How many more will die before Bush ends this senseless war?

Two thousand have died while a majority of people in our country believe the war is a mistake and our troops should come home. We must go to the military recruiting centers which promote war as the only alternative for our children and say: Not another death in this immoral war!

Join military families, veterans and United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ)/NYC at the recruiting center in Times Square from 6:00-7:00 pm on the day after the 2000th death. Bring flowers to lay on the doorstep of the recruiting center in remembrance of those who have died. Bring your signs and banners.

We are just a few days from the date that the 2000th death will occur. Watch the news and check your email and come out the day after. UFPJ/NYC will send out e-mails to let you know and you can check for the exact date.
