EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN in the event of war
Sponsored by the Chicago Coalition Against War & Racism and 
other groups

* IF the U.S. launches a full-scale war on Iraq, there will be an 
Emergency Response Demonstration at the Federal Plaza, corner 
of Adams & Dearborn Streets, Chicago, beginning at 5 p.m. the 
evening of the attack.

* The morning after the attack begins (assuming it occurs before 
midnight), a mass civil disobedience action will take place at 8 am 
at the Federal Building on the Plaza (corner of Jackson & 
Dearborn).  This action is sponsored by the Iraq Peace Pledge, of 
which CCAWR is a member.

* At 5 pm of the day after the start of the war, there will be a follow 
up demonstration to the first night's protest.  This again will be at 
the Federal Plaza, corner of Adams & Dearborn Streets, Chicago.
