October 11: Unite for Justice and Peace!
Stop the Wars!
Stop the Deportations!

Bring the troops home NOW! No attack on Iran!
Protect families, stop the deportations!
Defend civil liberties and our right to free speech!
Money for housing and health care, not for war!

The RI Mobilization Committee to Stop War and Occupation (RIMC), and other organizations in the RI area, are calling on all progressive forces in the area to converge on Providence on October 11 to unite for justice and peace!

The day of action will start at 12:30 PM at the Dexter Training Ground (Cranston Street Armory) on the West Side of Providence. After a short rally, we will march downtown to Kennedy Plaza, with stops at the following locations: Central/Classical High School, Crossroads; Beneficent Church; National Guard recruiting office; and Textron. We will then have a rally at Burnside Park starting at 3:30, with speakers addressing our demands for justice at home, and an end to the wars abroad. For a map, please go to
