Last November 16, 2500 women from all over the Northeast came to Washington, D.C. for the Women's Pentagon Action. We held workshops and on November 17 surrounded the Pentagon. Some 150 women were arrested blocking the entrances.

The Women's Pentagon Action, a growing web of local groups from Maine to North Carolina, has set November 15-16 for our return to the Pentagon. This date is close to the anniversaries of the deaths of Karen Slikwood and Yulande Ward. It's an appropriate time for women to gather again in Washington. We will create new sisterhood confronting the Pen; tagon with the full range of its crimes through our ritual, our demonstration of our strength, our civil disobedience.

All women in the geographic area are welcome and needed in planning and participating in this action. Women in other areas might want to organize supporting actions. If so, contact the Women's Pentagon Action at 339 Lafayette Street, New York, NY 10002 (212-254-4961), or P.O. Box 9306, Washington, D.C. 20005 (202-483-4284).
