  There will be organizations setting up information tables and speakers on the subjects of the anti-war movement, global justice, class, human rights, racism, sexism, environmental sustainability, labor, trade, capitalism, socialism, etc. There will also be musicians, artists, massage, food, beer/wine, coffee, etc. 
   
  Assembling Peace V is a fundraiser for the Stop the Wars Coalition (STWC). The Stop the Wars Coalition is an anti-war group that formed out of the organizing efforts in the Boston area during 2005 to stage a mass rally against the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan . After successfully staging a rally and march on October 29, 2005 featuring Cindy Sheehan and 3,000 participants; the October 29th Coalition evolved into the Greater Boston Stop the Wars Coalition, which has continued to organize many anti-war protests, host speakers, hold meetings, stage teach-ins and promote the “How Many More” campaign  (http://www.stopthewars.org/start/campaigns/howmanymore/index.htm) in the Boston area.
