On Thursday, September 15, in Washington, D.C., Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey will hold a hearing on exit strategies for Iraq.
A coalition of organizations demanding an end to the war will hold a rally at 5 p.m. that evening in front of the White House.
Please ask your Congress Member and Senators to take part in both events.
Or call the switchboard toll free: (888) 818-6641.
