Iraq Moratorium - Third Friday of every month beginning September 21

The slow motion train wreck that is the occupation of Iraq grows more nightmarish by the day. In 2006 the American people voted to bring it to an end. But the political process is moving glacially at best. We must force the media and the politicians to recognize just how angry and how massive anti-war sentiment in this country has grown.

It's time for the Iraq Moratorium.

The Iraq Moratorium will be an escalating, monthly series of actions demanding an end to the war. Commencing Friday, September 21st and continuing the Third Friday of every month thereafter, we will make a break with business as usual.


Join with millions to:
  • Wear and distribute black ribbons and armbands
  • Buy no gas on Moratorium days
  • Pressure politicians and the media
  • Hold vigils, pickets, rallies, and teach-ins
  • Hold special religious services
  • Coordinate events in music, art, and culture
  • Host film showings, talks, and educational events
  • Organize student actions: Teach-ins, school closings, etc.

An Easy Fix

"I didn't know you guys were doing that!", or "Lang has an environmental group? Ohh yeah, those apple kids...", and most often "I missed it!"

Commonly heard around the New School campus are remarks similar to these. Clearly we - the student groups - have communication issues. So here is a Simple Fix to this problem; a one-stop-shop where anyone within and without the university community can see what is going down on campus. We'll try our best to correlate this calendar with the "Upcoming Events" section of the university's Observer, but clearly we have the need to take matters into our own hands.

Enjoy. Participate.
