For 92 years women around the world have been marking International Women’s Day with calls for a more peace and justice-centered world. We urge you to join in this rich tradition and COME TO WASHINGTON D.C. FOR THE WOMEN-LED ANTI-WAR MARCH ON SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 2003 (http://www.unitedforpeace.org/women) or organize an International Women’s Day Peace and Justice event in your community.
Post your events at
http://www.unitedforpeace.org
United for Peace and Justice and other groups have made International Women’s Day actions a priority both because of the impacts war has on women and children and because this year’s celebration falls on the day following Hans Blix’s next report to the United Nations Security Council.

For the past four months, women from around the country have traveled to Washington, DC to join CodePink to be a constant presence at the White House serving as a daily reminder to the Bush Administration that millions believe that a war on Iraq would be immoral, unjust, and would make United States citizens and service personnel less safe. This historic vigil will culminate on March 8th with the women-led rally and march to the White House

These secret identities serve a variety of purposes, and they help us to understand how variables work. In this lesson, we'll be writing a little less code than we've done in previous articles, but we'll be taking a detailed look at how variables live and work.

The first thing we'll do is find the project we've been working on and open it up in Project Builder. In the file, we'll start right at the top and work our way down. Under the line:
