OVERVIEW OF PEACEFEST
Peacefest 2007 brings together peace and justice activists and supporters for a day of community action calling for the immediate end of U.S. agression in the Middle East. Our aim is to create and strengthen ties among the progressive/activist/grassroots community, and to reach out to others who want to work to help build a democratic, just,
and peaceful world.
The main theme of Peacefest is antiwar, and the event will include speakers, workshops, musicians, and other activities; we hope to highlight the connections between the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and other domestic and foreign policy issues. We want to provide a venue for persons hoping to get involved in progressive/radical/left politics in the Iowa City area. We want to highlight how U.S. foreign and domestic policy contributes to and perpetuates global injustice, human rights violations, and military/economic occupation through economic,
political, and military dominance.
We'll be updating the event schedule throughout the next few weeks, so check back often to learn about participating organizations, speakers, music, workshops, and other activities.
