Iraq Pledge of Resistance Gathering
Location TBA
2:00 - 6:00 pm
The Administration is pushing for a war as early
as the end of January, or the beginning of February. Momentum is
building in Los Angeles around the Iraq Pledge of Resistance, a
national campaign to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience in
opposition to the war (either when a war starts or on the week of
MLK's birthday, January 15-20).
Some of you attended our last gathering on December
10 to begin mobilizing around the Pledge of Resistance, and the
subsequent nonviolent Civil Disobedience training on December 18.
At this point, there are tentative plans for nonviolent
direct action during MLK week, January 15-20. For those whose conscience
compels them to participate in, or support those engaging in, civil
disobedience, we are holding another mass gathering on January 12.
The purpose of that event will be to:
Review action scenario for January 16
Form affinity and support groups
Organize media outreach
Review legal and other relevant information
Nonviolent Civil Disobedience Training
If you want to participate in nonviolent CD through
the Iraq Pledge of Resistance, it is essential that you come to
this meeting. We must work together in order to have an effective,
disciplined and centered action.

This timely demonstration is gaining momentum everyday
with support coming from community, labor, student, religious, women's,
civil rights, LGBT, and peace groups around the country.
Dr. Martin Luther King said that "The greatest purveyor
of violence on the planet is my own government." That statement
is as true today as it was during the Vietnam War. We will honor
Dr. King's legacy by marching against the terror that these weapons
of mass destruction wreak on the world.
We also join with people all over the world who
mourn the loss of Phillip Berrigan who devoted his life to courageous
opposition to militarism and war. Phil Berrigan put his body on
the line in the struggle to call attention to the inherently evil
nature of weapons of mass destruction produced by and for the US
military industrial complex. In addition to honoring Dr. King, we
intend to make the January 18 march a living tribute to Phil Berrigan's
life and legacy.
