"The Future of the Anti-War and Peace Movements": A Talk by Cindy Sheehan

The Future of the Anti-war and Peace Movements
Cindy Sheehan speaks in Cleveland Thursday, July 9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cindy Sheehan is an American anti-war activist whose son was killed during his service in the Iraq War on April 4, 2004. She attracted national and international media attention in August 2005 for her extended anti-war protest at a makeshift camp outside President George W. Bush's Texas ranch - a stand which drew both passionate support and angry criticism.

Sheehan was one of the nine founding members of Gold Star Families for Peace, an

Iraq, and provides support for families of soldiers killed in Iraq.
Sheehan has been active in the US peace movements over the last several years —
speaking, writing, and organizing across the US and overseas.
