On November
20th-28th, activists across the globe are gathering in Cuba to unite
the fight against the global powers that have built military bases in
all continents against the will of the people. This meeting will take
place in Guantanamo Province, where a US military base has become one of
the most brutal torture centers on the planet and a symbol of the gross
human rights abuses committed by the US government in the name the war
on terror. Anti-War Committee Chicago (AWC) is honored to announce that
three of its younger members, Kait McIntyre, Holly Kent-Payne, and Jeff
Westberry, have been invited to participate in this historic event, the
World Peace Council's Fourth International Seminar for Peace and
Elimination of Military Bases. We will be part of the delegation with
the United National Antiwar Coalition.
However, we need a financial
commitment from you to make sure they're able to get there. The
activists in the AWC are motivated by a desire to better the world we
live in. We believe you want the same thing. Your contribution will
bring us one step closer to ending the destructive military industrial
complex that has killed millions of people and destroyed countless
lives. The funds raised will go toward plane tickets, visa applications,
registration fees, housing, meals, and travel in Cuba.

appreciate donations of any size but, if possible, hope that individuals
can give at least $50 and that organizations can donate at least $100.

possible.
