BECHTEL OFF THE PLANET!
IRAQ VETS TO DELIVER EVICTION NOTICE TO BECHTEL CORP
Kick-off to 23-City Counter-Recruitment Tour Closes the Declaration
of Peace week of actions
WHAT: Iraq vets and their supporters will attempt to serve an
eviction notice to Becthel Corporation.
WHEN: Thursday, September 28, 11:30am.
WHERE: Bechtel's corporate office at 1015 15th Street, N.W.,
Washington, DC.
WHO: The event is being organized by Iraq Vets Against the War and
the UPRISE Counter-Recruitment Tour.
Join us on Thursday, September 28th, as Iraq war veterans and their
supporters attempt to serve an eviction notice to Bechtel Corporation
at their Washington, DC office. After a brief gathering in front of
the 15th Street building, we will serve a notice that enumerates
Bechtel's wrongdoing and demands that the corporation be immediately
"evicted from the planet." Bechtel, a leading beneficiary of
corporate globalization, pushed for the U.S. to go to war with Iraq
and subsequently received $2.8 billion in Iraq reconstruction contracts.
About the UPRISE Counter Recruitment Tour: It is a month-long tour
aimed at advancing regional counter-recruitment efforts and linking
the issues of war and military recruitment to corporate
globalization. See www.uprisetour.org.
About Iraq Vets Against the War: It was founded by Iraq war veterans
to give a voice to the large number of active duty service people and
veterans who are against this war, but are under various pressures to
remain silent. IVAW members are in 32 states, Washington, D.C.,
Canada, and on numerous bases overseas, including Iraq. See
