Join the Bay Area New Priorities Campaign and folks from more than a dozen peace & justice organizations to  distribute a GDAMS brochure to commuters at BART stations during morning and evening rush hours.  Below is a list of BART stations and contact info.

Press conference
In front of the Federal Building, 13th & Clay, downtown Oakland, CA, 11:30 am
Speakers will include leaders from the faith community, a representative of Congresswoman Barbara Lee, County Supervisor Wilma Chan, and a representative of Mayors for Peace.

The press conference will be followed at noon by a “Living Graveyard” vigil to honor the lives lost in the Afghan and Iraq wars and draw attention to the social costs of military spending.
