Encampment to End War in Iraq--March 12th-19th, 2007

ENCAMPMENT TO STOP THE WAR In Washington DC

Message to Congress:
*CUT OFF ALL WAR FUNDING
*END THE WAR
*BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW

Beginning March 12 in Washington DC (Before the March on the Pentagon on Saturday march 17)

March 12 Encampment begins directly in front of the Capitol Bldg in Washington DC
March 13 Encampment to End the War
March 14 Encampment to End the War
March 15 Encampment to End the War
March 16 Encampment to End the War
March 17 March on the Pentagon
stay in DC for the Encampment to End the War
March 18 Encampment to End the War
March19+ Encampment to End the War

WHERE? on the mall directly in front of the Capitol building
(3rd street between Constitution and Independence)

WHY NOW? During the week beginning March 12, Congress
will begin voting on Bush's request for $100 billion more for
the wars in Iraq and Afganistan. If Congress votes to cut off
funds, they can end the war now and bring the troops home.
If they approve Bush's war funds, the killing, and dying and
occupation will go on.it's as simple as that. This vote will
be the most important war related vote since Congress voted
to authorize Bush to invade and occupy Iraq in October of 2002.



The antiwar movement must be there to let Congress know
that we won't let them get away with it this time.



Right now, the Troops Out Now Coalition is working with local
organizers, churches and mosques, unions, and community groups
to prepare for a long-term occupation of Washington by the anti-
war movement. Local organizers across the U.S. are organizing
buses, vans, and car caravans.



We have a real opportunity if we act decisively--and we need
your help. Please contact us by Monday, February 26 --use the
"comments" section of the volunteer form to let us know:

1.Can you come to Washington for the Encampment to Stop the War?
2.On what day can you join the encampment? For how long?
3. Some are planning to come for a day or two, others are staying longer.
4. Do you have equipment that would be useful for an encampment-tents, sleeping bags, etc?
5. Can you volunteer to take on a task during the encampment
(logistics, medical, security, legal, transportation, etc)?
6. If you live in the Washington DC area, do you have space for people to sleep or freshen up?
