List of Persian/Iranian Events for 2007-10-27
Say No to War and Fundamentalism
Bay Area - San Francisco Saturday - October 27, 2007 10:30 AM
Subject: October 27 , Say No to War and Fundamentalism
Please Forward:
Dear Friends,
The political situation in the Middle East is pointing
to more bloodshed and war. Aside from the occupation
of Iraq and Afghanistan, the drumbeat of war against
Iran is on the upbeat from the Bush administration.
The extremism of Ahmadinejad's rhetoric is only
fueling the propaganda machine of the pro-war elements
within the Bush administration in gathering more
public support for an attack on Iran.
The Iranian-American community needs to use every
opportunity to have its voice heard against both
regimes to prevent more war and killing of innocent
people. March 18th, 2007, marked our strong show of
solidarity in San Francisco where more than 250
Iranian-Americans rallied against war. Last March, we
had one of the biggest anti-war contingents in the Bay
Area. Subsequently, we received encouraging and
supportive feedback from different American activists
and organizations. Our pictures were seen on many
Iranian webs sites, while
we caught the attention of local media, providing us
with good coverage. Our banners and fliers reflected
our common voice against war, representing us as an
advocate’s alternative for peace among both Iranian
and American activists.
On Saturday, October 27th, we have yet another
opportunity to make our voices heard against the
occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the
potential attack on Iran. In these critical times,
where an attack on Iran is high on the agenda of the
Bush administration, we need to find a common voice
and say NO TO WAR regardless of our political and
ideological differences. Join us with your own
banners, placards and fliers and march with the
Iranian-American contingent among other
activists.

We will be gathering at 10:30 am in front of the main
public library in San Francisco. The address is: 100
Larkin Street at Grove in Civic Center.

This protest has been organized by ANSWER Coalition
and will be joined by other anti-war activists as well
as our own.
