How Berkeley Can U Be at Marines Recruiting Center

November 27, 2007
East Bay CODEPINK
Berkeley, CA
Folks are stepping up to the Station and doing on-going actions almost every day now, reaffirming the message that Berkeley is an anti-war City of Peace who will NOT tolerate the recruiting of our youth to be used as cannon fodder or instruments of genocide in Iraq.

Preventing recruitment is even more crucial today as over 120 U.S. soldiers are committing suicide WEEKLY after being in Iraq (as reported by Katie Couric of CBS News)! We MUST prevent more deaths!

The Weekly Schedule:
Daily, 8:00-9:00a.m. Read/Meditate for Peace: Join Kevin and help the recruiters begin their day focusing on Peace and ending genocide.

Tuesdays, 1:30-3:30p.m. Tai Chi for Peace: Join Grandmothers Against War and Rachel as she leads us in Tai Chi for Peace in front of the Station

Tuesdays, 3:00-5:00p.m. Open Sidewalk Studios: Make Art not Soldiers: Bring your art, or bring your supplies to make art, and display along the sidewalk in front of the station!

Wednesdays 7:30-5:00p.m. Hot Pink Day to SHUT DOWN the Station: Join CodePINKers as we banner, hand out flyers, get petitions signed, engage potential youth who are in danger of being recruited, talk with recruiters themselves - ALL DAY!

Wednesdays 11:30a.m.-1:30p.m. Lift up our Voices for Peace: Join various musicians as Betsy Rose, Carrie Gerendasy, and others as we sing for peace in front of the station.
