FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



SATURDAY CEASE FIRE DEMONSTRATIONS TO CONTINUE IN ONEIDA




Last Saturday morning, fifteen participants in a peaceful demonstration in Oneida calling for an immediate cease fire in the Middle East agreed to continue to demonstrate on the next three Saturday mornings (August 12,19, and 26).

People will gather in front of City Hall at 10 o’clock. At 10:15, carrying banners in rainbow colors, they will walk to Allen Park, where an informal memorial service will be held at 11 o’clock for the war dead.

"We are calling on President Bush to take a clear stand against the violence that has killed hundreds of Lebanese civilians, including many children, and is bringing a rain of rockets on civilians in Northern Israel," says event organizer Robert Mann.
