Cut War not Public Services - National Demonstration against War in Afghanistan - Saturday 20th November

NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION * AFGHANISTAN: TIME TO GO
SATURDAY 20 NOVEMBER * ASSEMBLE 12 NOON
SPEAKERS' CORNER * HYDE PARK * LONDON
MARCH TO TRAFALGAR SQUARE

Called by Stop the War Coalition, CND and British Muslim initiative.

A large banner on this week's huge protest against education cuts said it all: Spend on Education and Jobs - Not on War.

It's a message that is clearly getting through. With little over a week before the national AFGHANISTAN: TIME TO GO demonstration in London on Saturday 20 November, the Stop the War national
office is being inundated with requests for leaflets and posters, details of transport being organised around the country to bring protestors to London, and people volunteering to help.

We are asking all our supporters and local groups to re-double efforts in the next week to help maximise the turnout on 20 November.

We now have the added focus of defending our right to protest, as we will be defying an attempted ban on us using Speakers' Corner as our assembly point.

TRANSPORT FROM OUTSIDE LONDON Stop the War has been notified of around 30 towns across the country where transport has been organised to bring protestors to London. We will update this list as we get details of more locations here:

office@stopwar.org.uk or call 020 7801 2768
