| This coming March marks the 5th anniversary the US led invasion of Iraq. This war has brought untold suffering to the Iraqi people. Our leaders have not delivered on their promises of safe and free Iraq. In the United States, we see veterans mistreated at government hospitals, domestic social programs continually cut, and thousands of soldiers never returning home. How long can we, as a movement, continue with an unchanged strategy? How long can American continue business as usual while our state commits untold damage both at home and abroad? The National Youth and Student Peace Coalition (NYSPC) calls upon American young people to participate in the Iraq Moratorium, with escalating actions on the 3rd Friday of every month. The movement must take a growing stand until the war is over, our troops are home, the Iraqi people are truly free to govern themselves. As young people, we must utilize our connections on our campuses and in our communities to raise awareness of the Iraq Moratorium. NYSPC is calling on students to wear their resistance to the war and pass out our "Books Not Bombs" buttons in your schools, workplaces, and communities. Seeing hundreds and thousands of young people wearing our opposition to the war will send a powerful message about how young people feel. See what other schools have done and send the name of your school or city and pictures of you and your friends wearing the buttons here and we will post them up to show the overwhelming anti-war sentiment of young people across the country. The youth of Iraq and the USA will bear most of the long term consequences of the war. We have a duty to stop this war. NOW! |
