Grassroots Action

From Sheila Rosenthal: "The Lafayette Area Peace Coalition (LAPC) is committed to continuing the campaign for peace in 2008. One new, and we think exciting, project is the display of highway billboards that call for peace in Iraq. We are planning to have billboards that say 'Out of Iraq: NOW,' on display for one year at locations in the Lafayette area.

In February 2008 the first one was placed on Interstate-65, approximately 1 mile south of exit 178 (State Road 43 near Battleground, Indiana. LAPC believes that a permanently visible call for peace on public highways is an important addition to local efforts for peace. We hope you agree and will participate. Look out for it if you are in the area."

This effort is part of the UFPJ billboard project. For more info, please contact Tony Shafton at ashafton [at] aol.com.
