Indymedia York

Preparing for the public meeting a week later, amongst other events.

Speaker: Rose Gentle, founding member of Military Families Against The War.
Rose's son, a British soldier, was killed in Iraq in 2004.

Chris Nineham, Stop the War Coalition executive member and liaison with MFAW will also speak.

We want this to be a big meeting, and in particular, we want to extend an extra warm welcome to all those for whom the war has brought personal losses. If you know of anyone who has family or close friends serving in Iraq, why not invite them?
