Veterans’ Day Die-In - November 11, 2007

Event sponsored by St. Augustine People for Peace and Justice
Our most recent action was a die-in on St. George Street.
We gathered at the gazebo, all wearing black, walked a ways, then dropped dead for l0 minutes. Walked some more, dropped dead again, until the police came and told us we were blocking traffic and to move on.
We had pledged to comply without arguing, but we continued the funeral walk back to the gazebo.
Along the way we distributed a mini flyer listing the number of dead, in the US and in Iraq. We printed l,000 - had only a few hundred left. This was on Saturday November 10th, in solidarity with demonstrations across the nation.
