Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) is revealing the reality of the
U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. In what will be history's
largest gathering of U.S. veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan,
as well as Iraqi and Afghan survivors, eyewitnesses will share their
experiences in a public investigation called Winter Soldier: Iraq and
Afghanistan.

How you can help Winter Soldier - Please read the attached file and
Lily's note below.

The D.C. Metro area is being called on to provide tax deductible
donations, housing and help with the logistics. Main organizer is Lily
Pazil pazil@riseup.net, Tel: 301－785-7134, Contact her and
vfpdc@vfpdc.org for how you can help.

Attached is the revised list of logistics roles to be filled. Soon
Lily will schedule everything out so people can sign up for exact
shifts, but for now i'd like to just compile volunteers who can play
theses roles at some point during the weekend.

Please fwd to your networks! We need ALOT more volunteers! **Also
Note: I was hoping Childcare would be bottom lined by the DC child
care collective, but they can only help somewhat, so we need
more people for this fun role! And a child care bottom liner!! Thanks, -Lily
