Tell the New Congress:
Act NOW to Bring the Troops Home!

Join United for Peace and Justice in a massive march on Washington,
D.C., on Sat., January 27, to call on Congress to take immediate
action to end the war.

On Election Day the voters delivered a dramatic, unmistakable mandate
for peace. Now it's time for action. On January 27, 2007, we will
converge from all around the country in Washington, D.C. to send a
strong, clear message to Congress and the Bush Administration: The
people of this country want the war and occupation in Iraq to end and
we want the troops brought home now!

Congress has the power to end this war through legislation. We call
on people from every congressional district in the country to gather
in Washington, DC -- to express support for those members of Congress
who are prepared to take immediate action against the war; to
pressure those who are hesitant to act; and to speak out against
those who remain tied to a failed policy.

The peace and justice movement helped make ending the war in Iraq the
primary issue in this last election. The actions we take do make a
difference, and now there is a new opportunity for us to move our
work forward. On Election Day people took individual action by
voting. On January 27 we will take collective action, as we march in
Washington, DC, to make sure Congress understands the urgency of this
moment.

You might have also heard that United for Peace and Justice was
calling for a demonstration in Washington to commemorate the 4th
anniversary of the war in Iraq on March 17. Because of the new
developments and our decision to organize the January 27th
mobilization, we are now calling for local and regional antiwar
actions that weekend instead. We will soon be issuing more
information about the plans for the 4th anniversary.
