EPI Supports a New Effort to End the War

The Iraq Initiatives Project:

Let Americans and Iraqis Vote Directly to End the War

        The Iraq Initiatives Project is an effort to support the direct democratic repudiation of the Iraq War by millions of Iraqis and Americans who have suffered from it - through ballot measures in the United States calling for the rapid withdrawal of all U.S. troops; and through a national referendum in Iraq on the U.S. occupation, a referendum supported and supervised by the United Nations and other international bodies.

Reminder: There is an ongoing vigil every Tuesday, noon in front of the Oakland Federal Bldg.

We remain in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Haiti.  Here are two Websites: HaitiSolidarity.net is the official site of Haiti Action Committee working to build a strong Haiti solidarity movement and HaitiAction.net is a leading news source for news and analysis about the current situation in Haiti.
