>The DC Anti-war Network (DAWNDC.NET) has initiated a call for a
>Monday, September 26 protest at American Israel Public Affairs
>Committee (AIPAC) headquarters at 440 1st Street NW from 8:30 to
>9:30 am. Tentatively, we will have a press conference at the protest
>at 9:00 am. At 9:30 am we will march to the United States Congress
>to  visit congressional offices and attend public sessions sponsored
>by the congressional U.S. Out of Iraq Caucus and Council for the
>National Interest (cnionline.org).
>This event is timed to complement later civil disobedience and
>all-day lobby efforts by United for Peace and Justice and other
>groups. For more information visit http://unitedforpeace.org/ DC
>Anti-War Network is a member of United for Peace and Justice.
>Peace, anti-war and pro-Palestinian rights activists will protest
>pro-Israel lobby, neoconservative and Christian Zionist-promoted US
>wars against both Iraq and Iran. These wars are meant not only to
>control oil resources and ensure United States dominance of the
>region, but also to secure Israel's 57 year illegal occupation of
>Palestinian land and its state-sanctioned discrimination  against
>Palestinians. Two high ranking AIPAC staffers recently were indicted
>for illegally receiving classified U.S. military information which
>enhanced AIPAC's ability to promote aggressive Middle East wars.
>In protesting at AIPAC and in approaching Congressional
>representatives, we call for:
>1) a speedy withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq;
>2) an end to all U.S. plans for pre-emptive strikes on Iran;
>3) Israeli honoring of international law which supports equal rights
>for all and the Palestinian right of return to homes, properties,
>villages and cities from which they have been driven since 1948; and
>4) an end to political and media labeling as "anti-Semitic" anti-war
>Americans who speak out for justice for the Palestinians and/or
>against wars promoted by neoconservatives, pro-Israel  lobbyists and
>Christian Zionists. Three recent examples are accusations against
>Presbyterian groups urging divestment from companies doing business
>with Israel and against former CIA analyst Ray McGovern and Gold
>Star Families for Peace activist Cindy Sheehan, both of whom spoke
>at Representative John Conyers' June 16 Downing Street Memo hearing.
>The DC Anti-War Network also initiated the January 21st fifty-strong
>"March on the Neocons" and the May 23rd seventy-five-strong protest
>against the AIPAC annual conference at the DC Convention Center. The
>latter was endorsed by over twenty activist groups nationwide. In
>2002 over 1500 activists protested outside the AIPAC annual
>conference. See relevant calls and photographs of these protests at
>http://stopthewarnow.net/protests/
>** ENDORSE  THIS CALL BY SEPTEMBER 19TH AND BE LISTED ON THE WEB PAGE
>AND THE PRESS RELEASE
