Call to a Moratorium

[jhain]

Please help spread the word:



Dear Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA) Contact,

CFPA is issuing a Call to a Moratorium to be observed on Wednesday, March 19, the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War. This Call comes out of a discussion that began with a CFPA Steering Committee Retreat on January 12, at which many of our 17 chapters, officers, committee chairs and other leaders were represented. Some of you may remember that Moratoria were used occasionally to oppose the Vietnam War, and our CFPA leaders felt it was time to call for one in opposition to the Iraq War.

See details about the Moratorium, and the activities we are encouraging our supporters to take, at the links below. The first is an html version on our web site; the second is a PDF version you can download and distribute. Please forward both these links widely; we hope that many supporters and groups throughout the region and across the country will join us in this effort! Please let us know what activities you or your group plan as part of the Moratorium.

Please begin your planning for the Moratorium Day NOW. If you need to request the day off, please make sure you do so with enough advance notice--that is one reason we are sending this initial version of the Call now. Some more activities are still in the planning stages, and will be included in future versions of the Call. But the ones on the links above are the ones we know of now.
