U.S.: No War No Warming is calling!

There will be a lot of protest
activity and organizing in DC in March, and our goal is to support and
compliment other organizing strategies.

Iraq Veterans Against the War is
organizing veterans to come to D.C. to give testimony on March 15-16 about the
U.S. role in Iraq in an event called Winter Soldier. While many other
organizations are discussing their plans and various coalition efforts are
underway, a network of individuals and groups is emerging around a common vision
of a massive intervention, using nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience
on Capitol Hill and elsewhere, to intervene and interrupt the power holders in
Washington, D.C. and Corporate America.

We can draw inspiration from
history and the successes of the No War, No Warming action on Capitol Hill on
October 22nd where creative mobile tactics like the bike bloc, polar bear
contingent and IVAW theatre, and blockades of key doors and streets, had a
significant impact on the hill, got great media coverage and built excitement
for what is possible when we take coordinated, determined action.

Imagine many hundreds if not thousands of people on the hill on Tuesday
and Wednesday, March 18-19, with scores of well-organized affinity groups
engaging in creative action demanding:

* An end to the Iraq war, bring
the troops home now, no war with Iran!
* A shift in resources to support war
veterans, rebuild New Orleans and other communities suffering from racism and
corporate greed
* Environmental justice and alternative economic models to
address poverty and create millions of green jobs in a clean energy economy

Within the context of an overall action framework united by common
demands and organizing principles, different affinity groups, clusters or
organizations can take responsibility for various areas around the Capitol,
communicating their particular message in their own way. There could be
pray-in's, bike blockades, street theater,poetry readings, puppets, speak-outs
and more. Unleash your imagination!

If we begin organizing now with a
goal of a thousand or more people in the streets March 18-19 willing to risk
arrest, we can have a serious impact! We can then take our experience home and
keep building this network and taking actions throughout this important national
election year.

Do what you can to be in DC from March 15-19. Let the
will of the people be felt!
