SUPPORT AN ARMS EMBARGO IN THE MIDDLE EAST
During the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King Jr. told us that
the bombs falling on Hanoi and on Vietnamese villages
were also falling on our cities and towns here at home.
Today the $ spent on weapons and bombs means lives are lost.

WORK TO BUILD BRIDGES NOT WALLS
WORK TO END WAR
