A Declaration of Peace
Full Article:
The Declaration of Peace is a pledge:
To declare peace by taking action now to bring US troops home, and to establish a comprehensive, concrete and rapid plan for an end to the US war in Iraq.
We will engage in nonviolent action in cities and town across the United States and in Washington, DC September 21-28 if these goals ó immediate withdrawal of US troops and a comprehensive plan to end the US war ó are not accomplished by International Peace Day, September 21, 2006. Nationally coordinated nonviolent activities will continue on a regular basis as needed until the United States withdraws from Iraq.
The US war in Iraq is an endless fire consuming lives, resources, and the fragile possibilities of peace. Instead of quenching this fire, the US occupation intensifies it. The Declaration of Peace is a call to end this war ó and a commitment to take action to translate this call into a concrete plan for peace. Together ó policy-makers and citizens; Democrats, Republicans, and Independents; people of faith and people of conscience ó we have the power to douse this fire.
Sign The Declaration of Peace ó and take tangible, nonviolent action to end this war and to declare a new era of peace and justice.
