Anti-war activist Sheehan to speak at local church Saturday

Peace activist Cindy Sheehan will speak at Trinity United Methodist Church on Saturday, July 25 at 7 p.m.

Sheehan, who, after her son oldest son Casey was killed in Iraq in April 2004, camped out, along with a contingent of Veterans for Peace, on President George W. Bush’s doorstep in Crawford, Tex.

Called “Camp Casey," in honor of her son, it soon burgeoned into a whole village of supporters.

Since then she was a 2005 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, has received several peace awards from around the world, and has written three books: "Not One More Mother's Child," "Dear President Bush," and "Peace Mom: A Mother's Journey through Heartache to Activism."

She ran against Speaker of the House. Nancy Pelosi in 2008, and now has her own boat-rocking radio show called Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox (click here).

Now Cindy comes to Seattle, on tour with her latest book, "Myth America: 10 Greatest Myths of the Robber Class and the Case for Revolution." Her new book can be ordered for a minimum $10 donation here.

For further information call the church office at (206) 784 2227 or Jerry Riley at lilnjer@earthlink.net.
  
Trinity United Methodist Church is located at 6512 23rd Ave. N.W.
