Candlight Vigil To End The Iraq War

Fargo, ND

March 17, 2008 12:00PM to 02:00PM

Hosted by John Jorgensen

Event Description:

On Wednesday, thousands of us will gather at candlelight vigils to mark the 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. In addition to honoring the fallen, we'll send a clear message in this sinking economy: it's time to end the war, and start using the billions wasted every week on the Iraq occupation to help folks here at home.

Some people are trying to tell a story that opposition to the war is declining. The media will be looking to this anniversary as an indicator, and we need to turn out in force.

There's a vigil in Fargo-Moorhead — can you make it on Wednesday?
