>More than two years after the illegal and immoral U.S. invasion of 
>Iraq, the nightmare continues. More than 1600 U.S. soldiers have 
>died, at least another 15,000 have been wounded; even the most 
>conservative estimates of Iraqi deaths number in the tens of 
>thousands. Iraq, a once sovereign nation, now lies in ruins under 
>the military and corporate occupation of the United States; U.S. 
>promises to rebuild have not been kept and Iraqis still lack food, 
>water, electricity, and other basic needs.
>
>A majority of Americans believe that this war never should have 
>happened, but our elected representatives in Washington continue to 
>rubber-stamp the Bush Administration's disastrous Iraq policies. 
>They have given military recruiters nearly unrestricted access to 
>our schools -- and the Pentagon nearly unrestricted access to our 
>tax dollars. At a time when our vital social programs are eroding or 
>completely decimated, an overwhelming majority in Congress recently 
>approved Bush's request for an additional $82 billion in war 
>funding, and there's already talk of another $50 billion 
>appropriation this fall.
>
>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.
>
>Our mobilization will coincide with the meetings of the 
>International Monetary Fund and World Bank, whose economic policies 
>place corporate profits ahead of basic human needs worldwide. We 
>will speak out against the corporate theft of Iraq's resources and 
>the decimation of the Iraqi economy through privatization and "free 
>trade."
>
>Join our weekend of action to stop this war, and help prevent any new wars!
>
>Leaflets and more information will be available soon at 
>http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=2854
>
>
>
>In the meantime, circulate this announcement far and wide and mark 
>your calendar for the weekend of September 24-26.
>

>
>We need your financial support to make this mobilization possible!

>Thanks, and we'll see you in Washington!
