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.

Join United for Peace and Justice in this crucial push for peace!

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.
