business as usual for those promoting and profiting from war and empire building.

What 5 Years Means

A note from Leslie Cagan:

In a little over a month, the U.S. will have been occupying Iraq for 5 years. It's hard to believe. Even when looking at the awful numbers -- more than 1 million Iraqis and nearly 4,000 U.S. servicepeople killed, 2 million Iraqis living as refugees in other countries, with another 2.5 million displaced within Iraq, more than 1 trillion dollars spent -- I find it difficult to grasp what 5 years really means. What is the full sum of the destruction and suffering that has taken place? And what does it mean for the future of our country and our world?

There are some who want to push Iraq off the table until after the elections this fall. We can't let that happen -- there's too much at stake. We must be as active, creative, visible and vocal as possible in order to keep Iraq and our demands prominent in the national discourse throughout the electoral season and beyond. Now is the time to stop funding the war and to bring all the troops home!

Join us! http://www.5yearstoomany.org/

On Wednesday, March 19th, people from almost 40 states (so far) will gather
in Washington, DC, for this historic day of action.

We hope that you too will decide to come to DC on March 19th! It is not too late!

Check out the new and improved 5yearstoomany.org, which is updated daily with more resources,
details about the convergence space, information about trainings, action details, and new flyers
you can download and pass out in your community!


If you can't make it to DC, there are still many ways you can take action.

More than 370 local events are being held around the country, including viewings of the
historic Winter Soldier hearings, and more are being posted on our calendar hourly!

Find and take part in an event in your area, or organize your own!
