Stop the War Now

March 19, 2010 marks the end of seven years of war and occupation in Iraq. After a year of Democratic control of the House, Senate and White House, the Obama Administration and Congress are wavering in their commitment to withdraw troops from Iraq. The Administration has escalated the war in Afghanistan and extended military operations into Pakistan.  Despite its lofty nuclear disarmament rhetoric, the Administration has asked for the largest nuclear weapons budget ever.

Call Congress Today: Vote to End Afghanistan War!

Submitted by ujpadmin on Wed, 03/10/2010 - 2:01pm.
Congress has the power to end the Afghanistan war with a majority vote of both houses.   The House is expected to vote Wednesday on a bill requiring all U.S. armed forces to be withdrawn from Afghanistan by the end of the year.
 
phoneCall your House representative and tell him or her to vote YES on H. Con. Res. 248!   Congressional Switchboard:  202-224-3121
 
The bill, introduced by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, asserts the authority given to Congress under the War Powers Act. If passed, the bill would require all U.S. armed forces to be withdrawn from Afghanistan in 30 days, or in any case by December 2010 if the President certifies they cannot be safely withdrawn that fast.   Rep. Michael Capuano is the only Massachusetts Rep. among the 16 Members of Congress co-sponsoring the bill.

Sixth Annual Israeli Apartheid Week

Submitted by ujpadmin on Sun, 03/07/2010 - 10:31pm.

Boycott, Divest, Sanctions - March 1-7, 2010

Mark your calendars - the 6th International Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) will take place across the globe from from the 1st to the 14th of March 2010!

Since it was first launched in 2005, IAW has grown to become one of the most important global events in the Palestine solidarity calendar. Last year, more than 40 cities around the world participated in the week's activities, which took place in the wake of Israel's brutal assault against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. IAW continues to grow with new cities joining this year.
