Hosting Tips:

  • Form a Coalition: We encourage you to form a coalition and hold one large event in your area. Invite your Congress Member and Senators. If a large event may not be possible, gather some friends and hold a house party. Don't forget to post the event so that people can attend. You can also organize events leading up to July 23 here.
  • Develop Your Contacts List: Be sure to collect attendees' contact information that you can use for future follow-up/events. Feel free to email us your list for addition to our weekly alert database.
  • Dramatize a Reading of the Downing Street Minutes:
    Download the Minutes here and read about them here. Don't forget to follow this guide to performing a dramatic reading.
  • Hold a Panel Discussion: Invite your Congress Member and/or Senators or local elected officials, and leaders on this issue. Email us if you wish to invite a CODEPINK speaker for this event, and check out speakers available from AfterDowningStreet.
  • Take Photos: Don't forget to send us news and photos of your event!
  • Spread the Word: Each action counts! If you are unable to hold or participate in an event, forward this page to your friends.
  • Help CODEPINK Air Downing Street Memo Radio Ads on Right-Wing Radio! Starting on July 23, CODEPINK will begin a campaign to hit the right-wing airwaves with a radio spot recorded by Cindy Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in the Iraq war. The ad will give millions of conservative radio listeners a dose of reality; and urges them to call on their representatives to investigate and hold Bush accountable. Please help us raise $25,000 so we can begin running these ads and push the impeachment issue to the next level!

More Action: 

Support Barbara Lee's call for a Resolution of Inquiry:
Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D., Calif.), Co-Chair of the Progressive Caucus, is circulating a letter to other Congress Members asking them to sign onto a Resolution of Inquiry. Her letter includes this request:

"Join me in cosponsoring a 'Resolution of Inquiry' to learn -- as the Downing Street memo indicates -- whether steps were being taken by the Bush administration to 'fix' intelligence and facts between the two countries around a decision to go to war."

Please encourage your Congress Member to contact Lee's office to support this resolution, and contact Lee's office to thank her for her leadership.
