On Wednesday, April 11, ACTIVATE will be holding a protest in response to a speech by former Secretary of Defense William Cohen. Cohen will be speaking at the Amway Grand Plaza as a fundraiser for the World Affairs Council of Western Michigan. During his tenure as Secretary of Defense from 1997-2001, Cohen participated in a genocidal policy towards Iraq.
ACTIVATE will meet at 5:30pm at Rosa Parks Circle in downtown Grand Rapids (near the intersection of Pearl and Monroe).
