Grassroots Call

Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), After Downing Street, Back Bone Campaign, Democracy Cell Project, and other organizations, including United for Peace and Justice, want to encourage activists to organize public town hall meetings about ending the war, while Congress Members are home in January. They are likely not to leave Washington until right before Christmas, and to stay in their districts or travel for at least the first half of January.

These events can be meetings with supportive Congress Members or undecided or pro-war members. They can be held with a Progressive Member in a red district. They can be held without a Congress Member. Smaller groups can hold house parties or other types of events.

We've selected January 7th as a national day on which to hold as many events as possible, but other days can be chosen to fit the schedules of those involved.

Resouces and an events system for listing and signing up to attend events are here: http://www.afterdowningstreet.org

The agenda for Monday's call is:

1. Discussing the plan for these events.

2. Determining what organizations can take the lead in which Congressional Districts.

3. Making plans to start organizing and spreading the word.

4. Planning Wednesday's call.
