WHERE: Three locations...
*Noon-2:00: State Capitol. Concert/Rally.

instrument. Non-musicians welcome. "Represent yourself in your own
way." 
*2:30 -4:00: City Hall. Concert//Rally.   
 
WHY:  
On the 7th anniversary of the Iraq occupation: To remember
the real costs of war: millions of innocent victims... trillions in
growing U.S. debt... growing privatization of our military, profiting a
very
few...loss of freedoms... etc.. 
To encourage a popular movement for peace.
To promote independent information media. Because knowledge
IS power....power for the people. 
Because everyone has valuable talents and skills:... "everyone can
be an
instrument for peace".
