Iraq Moratorium Begins
United for Peace and Justice announces that the Iraq Moratorium has begun. Initiated by antiwar activists from several groups around the country, it calls for local, decentralized, personal action or statements against the ongoing war and occupation of Iraq on the 3rd Friday of every month.
The idea is simple: Everyone, wherever you are, should try to do something that publicly says, “I am against this war — and I want it to end now!” The Iraq Moratorium is something everyone can get involved with, either as an individual or as part of a group. Here are just a few ideas for what you can do:
1) Wear an antiwar button or sticker to work or school.
2) Wear a black armband to let people know you mourn the overwhelming loss of life in this war.
3) Hang an antiwar sign in your window, or put one on your lawn.
4) Call a local radio talk show and explain why you want this war to end.
5) Today, or tomorrow, write a letter to the editor of a local newspaper and let people know about the Iraq Moratorium and how they can get involved.
