AIM West: San Francisco Anti-War March and Dooda Events


Brothers and Sisters,
This Saturday, March 20th will be a busy day for the NDN and activist communities.
Starting at 10 am, there will be the annual anti-war march in San Francisco on the anniversary of the start of the Iraq war. Many, many organizations (including AIM-West) will be participating. At 10 am (before the march at 11) will be a prayer and honoring for Leonard Peltier. Join the AIM-West contingent at the Civic Center Plaza at 10am!
Elouise Brown (http://www.doodadesertrock.com/) will be one of the featured speakers at Rally following the march.
After the march and rally, please join us at the Native American AIDS Project Powwow at Horace Mann middle school (23rd st near BART). Its a great cause and lots of fun. The Powwow starts at 11am and goes until 7pm.
Then, at 7:30pm we will be welcoming Elouise Brown at the Women's Building! The Women's Building is just a few short blocks from the powwow, so walk over with us afterwards!
It will be an exciting day for sure. I look forward to seeing everyone!
