Anti-war Movement Launches Campaign Of Civil Disobedience To End Iraq War Funding
February 5th - Occupations and civil disobedience at the offices of Senators across the country today will launch the Occupation Project, an eight week long campaign of civil disobedience to end funding for the Iraq war. President Bush is expected to submit a request to Congress today; http://tinyurl.com/2mc4fp.
As Voices prepares for the launch of the campaign, both in Chicago as well as nationally, we want to share a glimpse of the momentum that continues to build locally, regionally and nationally, as well as provide information on how to get involved.
Campaigns now stretch from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon and from Fairbanks, Alaska to Huntsville, Alabama. Campaigns are active throughout the Midwest, including: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri. Campaigns cover the western coast from Alaska to Washington to Oregon to California. Campaigns stretch from the east coast to the west coast: North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and California are all actively organizing campaigns.
STAY TUNED! We will be updating our website throughout the afternoon and evening and provide you with more specific information as today's launch of the campaign unfolds; http://vcnv.org.
National organizations CODEPINK, Veterans For Peace, and the Declaration of Peace, have joined with Voices for Creative Nonviolence in actively organizing this campaign...making it a Movement of Civil Disobedience to End Iraq War Funding.
