Antiwar
groups around the United States have designated the weekend of Oct. 5-7, the 11th
anniversary of the launch of the U.S. war on Afghanistan, as a time for public
demonstrations and major educational events. The United National Antiwar
Coalition hosted an Aug. 29 national phone organizing meeting attended by 49
representatives from peace groups wishing to participate in 19 states. The
Veterans for Peace national convention, held in mid-August in Florida, ratified
the UNAC call.
