============================
The Bush Administration seems determined to go to war against Iraq no matter
what happens with the U.N. inspections. But the breadth of opposition to
this reckless crusade will be demonstrated on December 10, when people all
over the United States will hold coordinated anti-war events.
1. RALLY AND CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE AT U.N.
The National Council of Churches, along with many other faith-based and
pacifist groups, is marking International Human Rights Day with bold action
against the Iraq war: mass civil disobedience at the United Nations. Gather
10AM, Tuesday, December 10, at First Avenue and 47th Street; you can show
your support without risking arrest. Much more information at
http://www.ncccusa.org/iraq/iraqschedule.html
2. UPTOWN ANTI-WAR MARCH ORGANIZING MEETING
On December 14, Uptown Youth for Peace & Justice will be holding a major
anti-war march in Harlem. This youth-of-color-led action will be the most
important opportunity this season to express your opposition to the Iraq
War. Help make it happen by going to their organizing meeting, December 4 at
6:30pm, 2005 Amsterdam Avenue at 159th Street, 2nd floor. More info: Karim,
(347) 203-6157
3. ANTI-WAR LEAFLETING AND OUTREACH
Join Mobilize New York - yep, that's us - as we spread the word about
opportunities for action against the war. Meet at 1pm at the south end of
Union Square this Saturday, December 7, to hand out leaflets and sign people
up for the Mobilize email list. We'll also be giving away free anti-war
stickers. RSVP to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
4. "WHY WE MUST INVADE IRAQ RIGHT NOW!"
Hmm, now why exactly is there such an urgent need for the U.S. to go to war
on Iraq? Mark Fiore's fabulous online animation may help clear up the
confusion.

a read-through so you'll be prepared to discuss the issue with anyone.
