[dc-zaps] Join Us for March for an End of the War

PEACE IS A FEMINIST ISSUE!

Join NOW Activists and March for an End of the War

NOW urges the U.S. government to end our military occupation of Iraq and invest proportionate financial resources in Iraq rebuilding, humanitarian relief and personal safety of the Iraqi people.

We:

• Call for an end to the U.S. campaign of militarism and corporate profit that has contributed to anti-American sentiment around the world,
• Support equality for women and men in the U.S. military, and
• Call for an end to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East that exacerbates the plight of women and children in these countries, including U.S. military aggression.

Join NOW in Washington, D.C., September 23-25, for a weekend of activities. We need volunteers to lead a petition drive calling for the end of the war. We also need volunteers to help out at the NOW table.

To volunteer, contact Erin Hanna at field@now.org.
