After the demonstrations of December 2nd, 2006 and last February, December 15th, 2007 will be another ocassion for unity [...]
A rainbow of colors; a babel of languages; the community fighting against the militarization of Vicenza is a crucible full of ideas, sensibilities and diverse experiences.

Many roads all leading to one common objective: halting the construction of another US base in Vicenza.
After the demonstrations of December 2nd, 2006 and last February, December 15th, 2007 will be another ocassion for unity: the people who say no to war, who can see a future without military bases will meet again on the streets of Vicenza carrying a standard with a simple message: NO DAL MOLIN

If we don't act now it will be too late.
