1. Sept. 24 Rally to Be Held at Washington Monument

United for Peace and Justice is delighted to announce that we have secured 
the grounds of the Washington Monument for the rally that will precede our 
massive peace march on Saturday, September 24. This large, high-profile 
location will readily accomodate the truly enormous turnout against the war 
we are expecting for September 24.



We are still negotiating the route for the massive march that will follow 
the rally on Saturday, September 24, and will keep you posted as 
negotiations proceed. We are seeking a route that will take us past the 
headquarters of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, 
now headed by Iraq War architect Paul Wolfowitz. The IMF and World Bank 
will be meeting throughout the weekend, and we will be highlighting the 
close connections between their aggressive and destructive policies of 
corporate globalization and the larger empire-building agenda of the Bush 
Administration. The 
<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=26505597&url_num=5&url=http://www.globalizethis.org/>Mobilization 
for Global Justice and other groups are planning a number of additional 
activities to protest the IMF/World Bank meetings, and we will keep you 
posted on how to plug in.

Organizing an event on the scale of our September 24-26 anti-war 
mobilization requires enormous resources, including money for sound and 
stage equipment, tents, and transportation, not to mention the cost of 
printing huge numbers of leaflets, posters, and other mobilizing materials. 
Please make a donation today to support our organizing efforts. For each 
donation of $25 or more, we'll send you five of our brand-new September 24 
buttons, so you can start raising the visibility of the protest in your 
community.

2. Sept. 24-25 "Anti-war Fair" Planned

We are not just bringing huge numbers of people to Washington to protest 
the Iraq War ... we plan to send everyone home energized, inspired, and 
prepared to intensify their organizing efforts in communities large and small.


The United for Peace and Justice fall mobilization will include a special 
"anti-war fair" designed to connect grassroots activists with a wide array 
of organizations and campaigns. At the "anti-war fair," you'll find 
leaflets, how-to guides, activist toolkits, and other resources; have an 
opportunity to talk to knowledgeable organizers involved in everything from 
counter-recruitment work to faith-based organizing to immigrant rights and 
civil liberties; learn more about a range of key issues that United for 
Peace and Justice works on, from seeking to disarm nuclear weapons to 
opposing U.S. support for Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands. We're 
very excited about our plans for this participatory, interactive "anti-war 
fair," which will strengthen a broad range of important activist 
initiatives. More details to come ...


3. Sept. 25 Interfaith Service to Feature Actor Danny Glover & Notable 
Religious Leaders

A major interfaith service is being organized for Sunday evening, September 
25, as part of the three-day mobilization. Spearheaded by 
<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=26505597&url_num=7&url=http://www.unitedforpeace.org/faith>Clergy 
and Laity Concerned About Iraq (CALC-I), a project of United for Peace and 
Justice, this event will bring together people from a wide array of faith 
traditions who are united in moral outrage about the ongoing war in Iraq. 
The master of ceremonies for this important evening will be actor Danny 
Glover, an outspoken voice for peace. We are still finalizing the venue for 
the interfaith service and will update you when the information is available.

4. Sept. 26 Grassroots Lobby Day & Nonviolent Civil Disobedience Action 
Plans Moving Forward

There will be two other key components of our three-day mobilization 
against the war in Iraq: a large-scale grassroots lobby day, when we will 
focus pressure on Congress to stand against the Iraq War; and massive 
nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action, designed to intensify our 
resistance to the Bush administration's war policies. These events are 
being organized by working groups of United for Peace and Justice, and are 
still in the planning stage, although we have already heard from many 
people around the country who are planning to participate. We will keep you 
informed as details emerge about the plans for the day and how you can 
participate.
