All welcome at the rally - men, women and children and strollers! Help the overwhelming opposition of Australian women to this immoral war to be presented dramatically yet peacefully to the media, the public, our political leaders.

We appeal to women from all age groups, all ethnic backgrounds, all occupations to participate in this powerful event which is aimed to have direct impact at this critical time on Mr. Howard and other Australian political leaders.
