This Friday—June 21st— there is a rally against Urban Violence and for Peace in the Streets at 7 PM at 78th Place and Throop. CVO firmly supports the movement for peace and has long been a member of Veterans for Peace. Veterans have a unique role to play in this movement. We have seen violence; we have been violent. We recognize that building a secure, safe environment for our children and families means ending urban violence. As veterans, we can bring experience and a respected position in society to the streets. We need you to show up and show the way!

Wear your CVO shirts and hats and show off that you are a veteran!

Come out and support CVO and Occupy the Streets this Friday and show the city and the world that we want Peace!

CVO is holding a Press Conference and action on the 5th Floor of the County Building (that’s the other half of City Hall at Randolph and Clark) at 9 AM, Monday, October 28th. We’ll be in the hall outside Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle’s office. We will then proceed into the Budget Committee Open Hearings which are at 10 AM. We will testify that we as veterans and the people of Cook County need the Cook County Board to properly and adequately fund and staff the VACCC to assist the neediest veterans! They must not balance the budget on the backs of our veterans! As you know, the VACCC serves veterans in immediate need by providing funds for utilities, rent or mortgage and transportation. They also provide training and other employment services.

Stand tall and come out and be part of this Press Conference! Please notify members of your organization. We need all veterans to support this action by CVO so that the members of the Cook County Board see that veterans are engaged with this issue! Be there early so we can begin on time and be ready to go into the Open Hearings and testify!
