Friends,<br>
<br>
The Pioneer Valley Coalition to Prevent War on Iran and Physicians for Social
Responsibility have been tracking the alarming Bush Administration rhetoric and
activity regarding a possible military attack on Iran before the November
election. We<b> </b>see the coming weeks as critical for any effort to
stop a potential Bush attack. This would be catastrophic to the men, women
and children of Iran, to our economy, wasting further resources driving up oil
prices, and, we believe,<b> </b>dramatically increasing the risk of our using
nuclear weapons. We feel it is urgent now to raise awareness and activate<b> </b>people
to block such<b> </b>a secretive and illegal White House decision. <br>
<br>
We have an opportunity this coming weekend with three graduations occurring in
the Five College area on May 24th and 25th. We are organizing emergency
roadside<b> </b>pickets alerting people<b> </b>to call Congress to<b> </b>demand
intervention in any<b> </b>plans to attack Iran.<br>
<br>
We need your help. Many people will be away that weekend (Memorial Day) and
those who are here will need to chip in to do the picketing.<br>
<br>
Please think hard about whether you can make it at the following times:<br>
<br>
UMass graduation: 10 am to 12:00 pm Saturday, May 24 on University Drive just
north of Route 9/Russell St. across from the Big Y. Park in the Big Y parking
lot.<br>
<br>
Amherst College: Sunday 8 am to 10 am Sunday May 25. Meet on Amherst Common,
south part near Route 9.<br>
<br>
Mt. Holyoke graduation: 8:30 to 10:30 am Sunday May 25. Meet on the Village
Green at the intersection of Rts. 47 and 116.<br>
<br>
<b>Please let Doug Renick at AFSC know if you can make either of these times.
Send your response to <a href="mailto:afsc@crocker.com">afsc@crocker.com</a></b>.
