National

Oct 27 logoOn October 27th, an amazing and powerful story unfolded across the country. We've all known for some time that most people want the war and occupation in Iraq to end. For the first time, people from all walks of life took part in a national, public protest without having to travel to Washington, DC, or New York City. Thousands of people spoke with one voice to demand an end to this outrageous war in the National Day of Action initiated by United for Peace and Justice.

11 regional demonstrations -- Boston; Chicago; Jonesborough, Tenn.; Los Angeles; New Orleans; New York City; Orlando; Philadelphia; Salt Lake City; San Francisco; and Seattle -- were held, along with many solidarity actions around the country and beyond.

Click on the following links for reports from the day's activities, and to participate in our poll and discussion forum on what the antiwar movement's next steps should be.

Watch/share the video created by Robert Greenwald's Brave New Foundation in support of the October 27th mobilization.

Tell Congress You're Marching Against the War Saturday

By: Robert_Naiman Tags:

As you prepare to attend a regional demonstration against the war in Iraq and against an attack on Iran, there's one easy thing you can do to help make sure that Congress pays attention.

Tell them about it. Tell your Senators and your Representatives in Congress that you will be attending a demonstration tomorrow.

Just Foreign Policy made an alert for precisely this purpose.

Prove the Intensity of Anti-War Sentiment on October 27

By: susan

by Robert Naiman and Susan Chenelle

A clear majority of the people of this country want decisive steps to end the Iraq war now, not years from now, as the Pentagon is planning. As the Christian Science Monitor noted recently, the public reached its verdict on the Iraq war long ago, and hasn't been swayed by President Bush's speeches or the proclamations of his generals that success is around the corner.
