NOAC / Peace Action 4000 / 1,000,000 3-25-08 Veterans Memorial Bridge : Upon the announcement of the 4000th military death in Iraq, NOAC, Peace Action and inumerable individuals and groups such as Veterans for Peace, CNVN, Women Speak Out and others gathered on the Veterans Memorial Bridge to commemorate this terrible milestone along with the death of an estimated 1,000,000 or more Iraqi civilians. Not that this death is any more or less significant than any of the previous 3999, rather that it highlights the terrible and unecessary loss of life for the lies that created this war. Honking horns from passersby in response to our visible presence and to the 4000 names strung on the bridge fences, both north and south side, and the 4000 lights held by participants, confirms the ever growing opposition to this unjust, immoral, illegal war. All photos and video clips taken, including badly focused and poorly framed ones, are included, tho 7-8 more video clips will be added as the day, 3-26, and upload time allows, check back after 3-26 to see those; also note the addition of 7 photos from a member of Veterans for Peace Chapter 39 (send pix to me if you want them included or let me know of a site that can be included here for reference... Thank you to all the individuals who helped create and participated in this memorial. Please leave a comment if you wish and contact gkotrba@cs.com if you wish to have a particular photo removed and it will be done....

5th Anniversary of the Start of the War 3-20-08 NOAC-SDS : NOAC and the Shaker Hts High and Lakeland Community College SDS chapters co-sponsored this event starting at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument. Some of the names of the 4000/1,000,000 who have died were displayed and the group marched to the Federal Building for an hour long rally and return march to Public Square. These photos only cover activities at the Monument (hence the SDS March leaving in one clip and coming back in the next). Video by Sam Phillips of Liberation Brew of the entire event will cover the Federal Bldg Rally. (excuse the moisture spots on the lens from the last phots session... ) For other rally & march pix go to http://cleveland.indymedia.org/news/2008/03/29572.php Also watch for video of the Rally at the Federal Bldg coming to Liberation Brew in the near future..... .

NOAC at CSU Democratic Debate : Obama and Clinton took part in a nationally televised debate in Cleveland sponsored by MSNBC on February 26. Outside in the cold, NOAC and other peace people were there with signs and handouts. Our messages: There’s No Debate: End the Iraq Occupation & War NOW! No Debating This: Bring the Troops Home NOW! We were a presence to show the candidates, the Democratic Party, the nation and world that Clevelanders want an end to the foreign illegal occupation and war of Iraq NOW. Many from the Poverty Summit held at Trinity Cathedral earlier marched to the debate site as well, and at the last minute a busload of Serbian protestors arrive to add to the crowd.

Hands Off Iraqi Oil - AFSC - PDA 2/23/08 : The Proposed Iraq Oil Law giving the U.S. and other foreign oil corporations the primary role in developing Iraqi oil, is about to go before Iraq’s Parliament. The Bush administration is heavily pressuring the Parliament to pass this proposal. The current proposed law favors production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) -- exclusive 30-year contracts allowing the U.S. and other foreign oil corporations to control the extraction, development, and depletion of Iraq’s oil, which has been in the public sector since the 1970s. Challenging the myths on Iraqi oil policy and the current Oil Law is an important part of the debate on resource sovereignty and the future independence of Iraq. Who should decide the future of Iraq’s oil industry and through it, the economy of the country? The people of Iraq, free from duress and external pressures, or foreign oil corporations and occupying powers? Sponsored by: American Friends Service Committee: 330/928-2301, Progressive Democrats of America - Ohio: 330/807-9096, UUCA Social Action Committee: 330/836-2206
