Protest Outside of President Bush’s Grand Rapids Visit Announced

ACTIVATE has announced plans for a protest in response to President George W. Bush’s visit to East Grand Rapids:

Friday, April 20 – 12:15pm (SHARP!)

John A. Collins Park

in East Grand Rapids

(on Lakeside Dr between Reeds Lake Blvd and Wealthy)

This Friday, President George W. Bush will be speaking to deliver a “major policy speech” on Iraq. In response, ACTIVATE/SDS is calling for a protest to demand an immediate end to the occupation Iraq. From the recent escalation of the war to the killing of 655,000+ Iraqi civilians, this is a criminal war and occupation and it must end now.

Please bring noisemakers (drums, horns, shakers), large banners, and signs. We want this to be a loud and visible protest.
