November 11th is Rememberance Day
Lewis | 06.11.2006 17:44 | Anti-militarism | Liverpool
a day to remeber all the military deaths since 1918.
BUT.
They don't remeber the Iraqis, Palestinians, Afgans, Germans, French, Belgians, Kuwaitis, Kosovans, Serbians, and many, many, many, more civilian casualties who have died in the 300+ wars since 1918.
Over 200 Million people have been slaughtered in Wars around the World, since the "war to end all wars" (WW1)
That's why.

Liverpool School Students Against War
have organised a DIE IN to take place on 11.11.06 at 11am, during the 2 minutse silence.
A die-in is where a group of people pretend to be dead and lie on the ground covered in "blood".
The Die-in will bring the toll that war costs to the streets of Liverpool and show that we, the new generation, will not stand for this NONSENSE any longer. That we want the killing and war mongering to STOP, so that the world can live in peace.
SO, IF YOU CAN,
Come to the Big T.V. by Virgin, at 10.45 on 11th November.
We will "die" during the two minutes silence, and then walk up Bold Street to the Egg cafe, and then from there to the Cenotaph in front of St. Georges Hall.
IF YOU CAN'T BE THERE,
One thing you can do is, instead of wearing a red poppy on Rememberance day, wear a WHITE poppy, of which the proceeds go towards teaching about peace, and working for a culture of Peace.
Take ACTION on rememberance day, and send a message to the world leaders, that enough is enough. We want the KILLING to END NOW!!
