"Stop War on Iran!"

I just have to pass this along.
From Coast to Coast - and around the Globe
The People Say "Stop War on Iran!"
Take to the streets on August 2!

The threat of a U.S./Israeli attack against Iran is growing - but so is grassroots opposition. What we do in the next few days and weeks can make a difference.

Just a few weeks ago - on June 12- the Stop War on Iran Campaign issued an emergency call to action for August 2. Response has been overwhelming, and activists have organized actions in more than 87 cities, including major cities from coast to coast, including Los Angeles, New York, Boston, and Washington DC, as well as in smaller towns and cities like Westbrook, Maine; Melbourne and Ocala, Fla.; Charlotte, N.C.; Bozeman, Mont.; Salt Lake City; and Tucson, Ariz. Organizers as far away as Hawaii are mobilizing to protest as an attack against Iran is threatened daily.

We've also heard from activists in Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Bangladesh and a number of countries in the Middle East, who are mobilizing to support the Emergency Call. There will also be actions in cities across Canada.

This growing number of actions demonstrates the deep opposition to an attack on Iran - across the U.S., local organizers are mobilizing demonstrations big and small in the heat of August from Hilo, Hawaii to Kennebunk, Maine, not far from the Bush family compound.

We urge you to join us in the streets this Saturday. If there's not an action near you, there's still time to organize a rally, speakout, or picket. Make your voice heard - go to http://stopwaroniran.org/aug22008volorgcent.shtml to list your local activity.
