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!

Please be on time since we only have the venue for the designated times!

Of course, Coffee and Donuts will be served!

Bring your Individual Dues ($10) or Organizational Dues ($50) to be a member in good standing!
