Call for local, decentralized actions on December 10th!
United For Peace, an emerging national campaign working to stop the war on Iraq, and the Peace Pledge and Pledge of Resistance coalitions are coordinating a day of local actions on Tuesday, December 10th, International Human Rights Day.
Hundreds of communities around the country will organize events on this day and United For Peace will publicize them as a national day of action.
