To follow up on my last post, United for Peace and Justice is sponsoring Three Days of Actions for Peace & Justice in D.C. featuring marches, rallies, anti-war concerts, and hopefully massive non-violent protests on the Mall in DC. I’ll be there. Let me know if you need a place to crash for the weekend and I’ll see what I can do.

It’s time to hold all pro-war politicians accountable for the deaths, the destruction, the lies, and the toll on our communities! Join United for Peace and Justice in Washington, D.C. for three massive days of action against the war: a major march, rally, and festival on Saturday, September 24; an interfaith religious service and day of grassroots trainings on Sunday, September 25; and a large-scale grassroots lobbying day and mass nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience on Monday, September 26.

From every corner of this country, people will travel to Washington to bring our demands directly to the policymakers responsible for this unjust war. These three days of actions will send a clear message to the White House and Congress: The Iraq war must end. It’s time to bring all the troops home, leaving no U.S. military bases behind, and to stop the corporate theft of Iraq’s resources. Instead of draining our national treasury for endless war, we demand that our tax dollars be used to repair the damage done to Iraq and to fund services in our communities. We call for an immediate end to our government’s assault on immigrants, the unethical pressures on our young people to join the military, and the undermining of democracy through relentless attacks on everyone’s basic rights.
