WE DECLARE PEACE!!! September 21-28, 2006
WHAT IS The Declaration of Peace?
A nationwide campaign to establish by
September 21, 2006 a concrete and rapid plan for peace in Iraq, including:
  • A prompt timetable for withdrawal of troops and closure of bases
  • A peace process for security, reconstruction, and reconciliation
  • And the shift of funding for war to meeting human needs.
If this plan for peace is not created and activated by Congress by September 21, the International Day of Peace, Declaration signers across the U.S. will take action including engaging in nonviolent action in Washington, D.C. and in communities throughout the nation.
