Rabbi Mark Diamond and Bishop Jon Bruno, along with many other interfaith clergy and laity, are leading a committee to call attention to the current situation in Darfur, in the Western Sudan, which has been called the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. More than fifty thousand have been killed since the conflict erupted in February of 2003, and 1.4 million people have been driven from their homes.
This event will begin with a candlelight vigil outside the Islamic Center of Southern California, where participants will listen to the Muslim call to prayer, and then begin a march. At the entrance to Immanuel Presbyterian Church, music and prayers will greet the participants as they move on to the Wilshire Boulevard Temple to listen to the blast of the shofar. The march will conclude at St. Basil’s Roman Catholic Church, where the Lost Boys of the Sudan Choir will sing, and representatives from all of the Abrahamic traditions will conduct an interfaith service, and charge us with a call to action.

Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) Obtains Internal Pentagon Report Outlining Framework for Use of Torture
Pentagon Report March 2003 (PDF) 6.7MB
CCR has posted the controversial Pentagon Working Group Report on Detainee Interrogations in the Global War on Terrorism: Assessment of Legal, Historical, Policy and Operational Considerations on its website. The report is further proof of the Bush administration's disregard for the Constitution and civil liberties and shows there was planning at high levels of government to abuse and torture detainees.
CCR President Michael Ratner stated, "This memo and others show there was planning far up the chain of command to torture detainess; the atrocities at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere cannot be swept under the rug by going after low-level soldiers. Apparently highly placed U.S. officials were willing to approve interrogation methods that violate every convention on torture the United States has ever signed. But they needed to find cover for their actions and a defense to possible criminal prosecution. Government lawyers writing this report wildly distorted the law in an effort to exempt officials from potential criminal prosecution."

Economic Justice is the Foundation of Peace:
Corruption Characterizes the US Occupation of Iraq
"The disaster that is the occupation of Iraq is much more than the war that plays nightly across U.S. television screens. The violence of grinding poverty, exacerbated by economic sanctions after the first Gulf War, has been deepened by the US invasion. Every day the economic policies of the occupying authorities create more hunger among Iraq 's working people, transforming them into a pool of low-wage, semi-employed labor, desperate for jobs at almost any price."

Bechtel, along with Halliburton,
recieves billions to implement US control over Iraq's resources.
Their efforts to privatize water in many countries was, in Bolivia, defeated by a grassroots rebellion.
Women, hardest hit by their policies,are central to the fight against Bechtel, starting with grandmothers from Big Mountain who fought displacement.
Bechtel oversees the nuclear dumpsite at Yucca Mountain
Former Secretary of State George Shultz is currently on the board of the Bechtel Corporation. Shultz is one of California Gov. Schwartzeneger's economic advisors.
Last April, the Bush administration gave Bechtel the first big Iraqi reconstruction contract, a prized $680 million deal over 18 months.
As the resistance to US occupation increases daily, Bechtel, the second largest recipient of money to 'rebuild' Iraq, continues to implement US control of Iraq's resources. Bechtel is the world's largest contractor, profiteering from war, human suffering and destruction of the environment. Bechtel made cluster bombs and other weapons of mass destruction, has built nearly half of the world's nuclear power plants and has invaded Shoshone land to oversee the nuclear dumpsite at Yucca Mountain.
Bechtel has a history with Peabody Coal which led to the displacement of Navaho people from Big Mountain. They have tried to privatize water in many countries; in Soweto South Africa women and men are resisting and in Bolivia Bechtel's efforts were defeated by a grassroots rebellion led by women. Women, who are hit hardest by Bechtel's genocidal policies, are holding Bechtel accountable for its crimes.
