CALL TO ACTION ON THE 5TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WAR
MARCH 19, 2008
TAKE ACTION AT THE AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE
13TH & L ST NW
- END the War in Iraq -
- SHIFT Funding from War and Big Oil to Clean Energy and Human Needs -
- SEPARATE Oil and State -
On the morning of March 19, we will set up a new "Green Zone" – an area dedicated to clean energy – on the doorstep of the American Petroleum Institute (API), which represents all the major oil companies. API gives immense amounts of money to our congress, influencing how they vote on war, energy, climate and oil subsidies. We demand a Separation of Oil & State-- it’s time to ensure that our Congress represents us, not Big Oil!
Our Green Zone will highlight our opposition but also our commitment to building a future built upon wind, solar and other urgently needed clean energy sources. Nonviolent civil disobedience, street theatre, creative props and canvassing will all be employed. We need people willing to risk arrest and people taking part in supportive actions. Let us hear from you! Read more...

CALLING ALL STUDENTS:
Spring Break in Washington DC!
Millions of you will be on break-- imagine the power of all of you converging in DC together to demand a change in war and warming!
Not sure you can make it?..
* Use your sick days! If you are sick of the war, greed, lies and lack of strong action on global warming then take sick days off to come to DC!
* Vacation to the Capitol. If you need a break from it all,
take some vacation days if you have them and come to the
nation's capitol. Direct action is good for the spirit!
* Organize a class trip or alternative spring break. We can't think of a better way to learn about policy, society, organizing or social change!
*See you in the hallways, on the steps and in the streets!*
October 22 won't be a day soon forgotten. Whether you were one of the 68 people arrested for expressing your First Amendment rights or you were supporting those willing to put their bodies on the line, it was a inspiring expression of hope and urgency.
