Encampment to Stop the War Sept 22-29

It's time to turn up the heat! Funding for the criminal war in Iraq will expire on October 1. The month of September will see the next big struggle over war funding, but this time the antiwar movement needs to be there to demand the immediate cut off of all war funding.

We have all see that the Democratic leadership in Congress, despite being elected with a clear mandate to end the war, has completely capitulated to the Bush Administration. We cannot wait for politicians to end the war.

Let's bring the occupation to Washington! During the week of September 22-29, antiwar activists will erect an encampment on the Lawn directly across from the Capitol.

Activists, military families, veterans, trade unionists, and community organizers from activists from across the U.S. are planning to erect a tent city, which will be a center of organizing, resistance, and action for the week.

Many local and national organizations are planning to have their own tents for the Encampment. There will be actions, protests, and speak outs organized by healthcare activists, military family members, immigrant rights organizers, and more.

Each day will have a variety of different activities, focused on the impeachment of Bush and Cheney for war crimes, student and youth action, political prisoners, Katrina, and more. Each night will feature "Culture and Resistance," including spoken word artists, musicians, poets, and more.

We need your imput planning giant displays, literature and organizing tents, skill sharing sessions, and acts of creative protest and resistance. Please contact us to share your ideas and to volunteer to help organize for the encamapment.

Over the next few days, we will be posting a calendar of envents for the Encampment. If your group would like to organize a tent, protest action, teach-in, etc. please contact us.
