Miami-- When George W. Bush comes to Miami to speak at the Book Fair,
November 14th, Miami area activists, including CODEPINK will be ready
with an outside protest demanding accountability and justice for the
lies Bush told the American people during his time in office. The visual
and vibrant protest will be held outside of the Chapman Conference
Center where Bush is scheduled to speak. CODEPINK members have staged
creative protests of George W. Bush and other war criminals across the
country.
WHEN: November 14, 2010, 2:30PM
WHERE: Miami Dade College, 300 NE Second Ave., Miami, FL 33132
“We are outraged that President Bush has admitted to a crime; approving
torture and is not being brought to justice. Instead he is profiting
from a book full of deception and delusion. We think his book belongs in
the Crime section of book stores and he belongs in court," says
CODEPINK Cofounder, Jodie Evans.
The women's peace group has been in the headlines with their protests of
Karl Rove at his book signings all around the country. See more

CODEPINK, founded in 2002, is a women-initiated grassroots peace and
social justice movement working to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars,
and redirect our resources into health care, education and other
life-affirming activities. We reject the Bush administration's
fear-based politics that justify violence, and instead call for policies
based on compassion, kindness and a commitment to international law.
With an emphasis on joy and humor, CODEPINK women and men seek to
activate, amplify and inspire a community of peacemakers through
creative campaigns and a commitment to non-violence. For more info,
