Via the Defenders of Freedom, Justice, and Equality's Phil Wilayto:

It's looking increasingly like the U.S. or Israel will attack Iran this summer, then hope for a response from Iran, and then, in Hillary Clinton's words, attack again to "obliterate" the country.

The Defenders will be hosting an emergency meeting tomorrow morning to plan Richmond-area participation in a very important protest to take place Aug. 2 in Norfolk to oppose any attack on Iran. Norfolk naval forces would be heavily involved in any attack on Iran. All progressive-minded folk are welcome.

The meeting will take place Saturday, June 12, 10:30 a.m., in the Fellowship Hall (basement) of Asbury United Methodist Church, 324 N. 29th St. (corner of 29th and East Marshall streets) in Richmond's Church Hill area. Please enter through the parking lot in the back of the church.

Please contact Phil Wilayto (philwilayto at-sign earth link period net) to RSVP.
