Major Mobilization Set for April 29th Dear Friends, We are pleased to announce the kick-off for the organizing of what promises to be a major national mobilization on Saturday, April 29th. Today, each of the initiating groups (see list below) is announcing this mobilization. Our organizations have agreed to work together on this project for several reasons: The April 29th mobilization will highlight our call for an immediate end to the war on Iraq. We are also raising several other critical issues that are directly connected to one another. It is time for our constituencies to work more closely: connecting the issues we work on by bringing diverse communities into a common project. It is important for our movements to help set the agenda for the Congressional elections later in the year. Our unified action in the streets is a vital part of that process. Please share the April 29th call widely, and please use the links at the end of the call to endorse this timely mobilization and to sign up for email updates.
