PEACE & JUSTICE TEACH-INS
When? Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.

Where? Unity on the Plaza, Classroom D (rear of first floor)
February 21: The War Tapes – from Democracy for America is one of the most compelling documentaries of our time. It focuses not just on the war, but life back home and the difficult ways family and relationships change. The film is powerful and moving conveying both the passion and mindset of American soldiers and the incredible human and community cost of war. You have never seen film like this before. After the movie, we will send postcards to congress demanding binding action to end the occupation in Iraq and bring our brave men and women home. The movement to end this war is building; help us unite our voices by taking action together:
At Avila University
