End the occupation

The big mobilization against the war is scheduled for this weekend. United for Peace and Justice is adding a call for justice for the people of the Gulf Coast to their call for an end to the occupation of Iraq.

If you can't get to Washington, D.C., cities and towns from St. Augustine, Florida to Amartillo, Texas, to Anchorage, Alaska are holding rallies. See the calendar at United for Peace and Justice for a listing of some of them. If you don't want to go to a rally, write a letter to the newspaper. Or gather a few friends and hold a sign by the highway. Or call in to a radio talk show. And talk to your representative.

We may not be able to stop hurricanes, but we can stop the disastrous occupation of Iraq taking place in our names with our tax dollars.

Not sure how we can extract ourself from the mess our invasion created in Iraq? Here's a six-part plan published in the Fall 2005 issue of YES!
