Taking it to the streets

Today, a broad coalition of groups will rally in D.C. and at solidarity rallies all over the U.S., calling for an end to the Iraq war. Even if you can't attend any of these rallies, you can make your voice heard by contacting your Congressional representatives this week, urging them to oppose a troop escalation and to vote against additional funding for the war.

Visit the National Priorities Project to see a real-time calculation of the cost of the war, along with examples of other services (like education and healthcare) those dollars could have purchased.
