Feb. 5: Get on the Bus to Support Lt. Ehren Watada!

Portland to Ft. Lewis Bus Trip for National Day of Action at Watada's Court Martial

On Monday, February 5 join fellow Portlanders as we travel to Ft. Lewis Washington to support First Lieutenant Watada during his military court martial. As the first Army officer to publicly speak out against the war and refuse deployment to Iraq, Lt. Watada faces a maximum six years in prison. Watada supporters are coming from around the country to this historic day of action to support his courageous stand against an illegal war.

American Friends Service Committee, Recruiter Watch PDX and Veterans for Peace Chapter 72 invite you to join us on a chartered bus from Portland to Ft. Lewis to stand with Lt. Watata. Our friends at Code Pink are also organizing a car caravan. Either way, we hope you can make it to stand with Lt. Watada and say no to the war in Iraq.

The bus will leave 8:00 am Monday, February 5 from Gateway Transit Center in Portland and return that evening. Tickets are $25 general / $15 student/senior and are first come, first serve.

"My fellow soldiers are fighting and dying in Iraq and their families are suffering because of the lies and deceptions crafted by the Bush Administration. The Iraq war is not only a crime against domestic and international law but [it] is a terrible moral injustice against the
Iraqi people." Lt. Ehren Watada.
