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
• A shift of funding from war to meeting human needs

If this plan for peace is not created and activated by Congress by September 21, Declaration signers across the US will engage in nonviolent action in Washington, DC and in communities throughout the nation.
From September 21-28, just before Congress adjourns for the fall elections, Declaration signers will take action — 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 country.

More than 180 organizations are participating in the Declaration of Peace movement. Sign The Declaration of Peace (available at www.declaration [5] of peace.org) — and take tangible, nonviolent action to end this war and to declare a new era of peace and justice.
