The U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan are escalating. Saber-rattling against Iran is reaching dangerous levels. Extra-urban U.S. bases in Iraq are expanding in size and permanence.  Meanwhile the U.S. government refuses to use its power to break the siege of Gaza.

What can we do here, in our region, to rebuild the movement and our ability to mobilize the antiwar majority?

Come hear and discuss proposals for a one-day regional strategy session in January, for spring demonstrations, and for a large regional educational conference and plenary to call fall actions.
