JOIN IN THE START OF A MOVEMENT
Iraq: Ending War Through Diplomacy
A Forum and Mobilizing Workshop

The conservatives have thrown down the gauntlet of decades more war in Iraq. We need to meet the challenge by proposing a Diplomatic alternative to continued military occupation and persuasively taking it to the public, to members of Congress, and to Congressional and Presidential candidates.

Join Congressman Jim Moran, Phyllis Bennis, Andy Shallal, and other great speakers in an interactive dialogue to learn what you can do to help PDA lead a national movement to use diplomacy as a way out of Iraq.
