Katy Hansen Iowa United Nations Association MARCH 20 GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION-The World STILL Says No to War Would your group like to join others in Des Moines on March 20, 2004, the first anniversary of the Iraq war. Many organizations are planning to march in a Big Peace Parade followed by a rally, films, and teach-ins. The Des Moines event is part of the GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION sponsored by United for Peace (www.unitedforpeace.org) and International A.N.S.W.E.R. (www.internationalanswer.org). Iowa events, culminating in Des Moines on March 20, are being coordinated by a number of Iowa Peace groups around the state. Related events are being planned in cities across Iowa from March 18 through March 21. The Big Parade will assemble on the Drake University Campus, March 20 and commence at 1:00 PM. An indoor rally at the Olmsted Center (Parents Hall) at Drake featuring speakers Tom Hayden, International Peace Activist, and Bruce Nestor, National Lawyers Guild, will follow the parade. Films and teach-ins are scheduled to follow the rally. We encourage you to bring friends and have a fun day. Send us your Hands: We are going to display our hands as a part of the display of support.
