“The time has come for the Occupy Movement to Occupy AIPAC.” - Adbusters Dear CODEPINKer,
The pro-Israeli government lobby AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is gunning for a war with Iran— just like they pushed us into the catastrophic war in Iraq. And their manipulation of our political process destroys the possibility of a just peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
Join us March 2-6 in Washington, DC as we Occupy AIPAC during their annual policy conference. We'll have a Summit on Iran, Palestine and the Arab Uprisings, as well as workshops, cultural performances, film showings, protests and creative direct actions. Register now.
And there's another way you can call for peace with Iran. Help us take out a full-page ad in the influential DC newspaper—The Hill. We'll send a clear message to Congress that AIPAC does not represent the majority of Americans who won't want another war in the Middle East. If you can donate $100 or more, we'll include your name in the ad.
Now is the time to make a large, people-powered push to show our opposition to the stranglehold the Israel lobby continues to hold over our government. In this new year, let's make sure the US doesn't launch into a new war!
Say no to AIPAC. Say no to war with Iran. Say no to Israeli occupation. Speak out for peace and justice.
Onward for justice, Alli, Farida, Gayle, Janet, Jodie, Kendra, Kristen, Lisa, Melanie, Nancy, Medea, Rae, Sanaa, Sharon, and Tighe
PS: Register today for the Occupy AIPAC summit and be part of history in the making!
