The film, Sir! No Sir! is about the GI movement against the Vietnam War. This is the story of the most vibrant, widespread upheavals of the 1960's--one that had a profound impact on American society yet has been virtually obliterated from the collective memory of that time. A discussion of Coffeehouse movements will follow the film.

This Thursday - and every first and third Thursday - there will be an IVAW meeting at 6pm at COFFEE STRONG.

Iraq Veterans Against the War
From its inception, IVAW has called for:

* Immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces in Iraq;
* Reparations for the human and structural damages Iraq has suffered, and stopping the corporate pillaging of Iraq so that their people can control their own lives and future; and
* Full benefits, adequate healthcare (including mental health), and other supports for returning servicemen and women.
