Take Action to End the US War in Iraq!
The Declaration of Peace is 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.
People across the United States are signing The Declaration of Peace pledge, a commitment to take action if this plan for peace is not created and activated by Congress by September 21, the International Day of Peace. From September 21-28, just days before Congress adjourns for the fall elections, Declaration signers will withdraw their consent from this war – and support a comprehensive peace process – by taking part in nonviolent action, marches, rallies, demonstrations, interfaith services, candlelight vigils and other creative ways to declare peace at the US Capitol and in cities and towns across the US.
The Declaration of Peace campaign will continue after the September actions if no comprehensive plan to end the war is in place. Nationally coordinated nonviolent activities will continue on a regular basis until the United States withdraws from Iraq and supports a comprehensive peace process.
More than forty national anti-war, peace, and justice organizations are participating together in the Declaration of Peace movement. Sign The Declaration of Peace – and take tangible, nonviolent action to end this war and to declare a new era of peace and justice.
