Our featured speaker was, Geoff Millard, of Iraq Veterans Against the War. Learn more at IVAW.org.

 

 

Since January, 2008, twenty-three WNY peace, justice, and anti-war groups have been meeting and collaborating.   See the list.


We don’t have a name, but we are united in:


    opposing the war in Iraq

struggling for an end to violence and injustice here in Buffalo and around the world

seeing connections between our local struggles and those happening overseas

 

We seek to work together so that our activities can be more focused and effective than if each group operated entirely separately.  We hope you are willing to join us in this important work.

Each organization continues to pursue its own mission.   Click here for a calendar of peace and justice events in WNY initiated by these and other organizations.

The people of the US and UK rejected the criminal policies of
the administrations of George Bush and Tony Blair---
we want to kick them into history, not bring them back!

PROTEST the UNIVERSITY at BUFFALO
making former Prime Minister and
mass murderer/war criminal TONY BLAIR
a "Distinguished Speaker"!
URGE UB STUDENTS TO BOYCOTT!


WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 7 at 7:00 PM
at the COVENTRY LOOP ENTRANCE
to ALUMNI ARENA
UB North (Amherst) Campus

 

The UB Administration has selected mass murderer 
Tony Blair as one of this year's "Distinguished Speakers." 
The University is paying him $150,000!
And it will surely protect this war criminal from unfriendly
questions by screening and censoring what the community
can say to him, as it has when it invited other war criminals 
to "justify" their policies in the past (Madeline Albright, 
Colin Powell, Karl Rove, Wesley Clark). 
 
Please join the Peace, Justice, and Antiwar Coalition of Western New York
for a protest on:
 
 Wednesday, October 7th, 7:00 PM
 at the Coventry Loop entrance to Alumni Arena at UB's Amherst Campus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are the Peace, Justice, and Anti-War Coalition of Western New York: A group of lay and religious activists from many walks of life. We share a commitment to ending the wars in Iraq, bringing the troops home, and beginning the process of rebuilding bodies, buildings, and shattered lives.

 

We also share a commitment to the classic idea of a university as a place where faculty, students and guests discuss important ideas and issues, face to face. We believe that free speech should be disrupted neither by shouting hooligans, nor by self-appointed censors who attempt to screen out written questions that worry them.
