[PAA-Discuss] 2000th U.S. soldier in Iraq has died

[Edna Thompson]

Dear Friends -

Here is a sad announcement I received.

Peace & solidarity
Pat

Dear Comrades and Friends,

The tragic moment has been reached of the two
thousandth US troop death in Iraq. United for Peace
and Justice (UFPJ) has called for emergency actions
TOMORROW to protest this sad milestone. We urge clubs
and members to join with peace groups in their area to
help organize actions. Many Party activists have
already been involved with organizing peace
activities, but we encourage clubs to call and email
their members and contacts to participate in these
emergency actions.

Please check the UFPJ web page for actions in your
area.

TOMORROW'S actions around the country are being
organized to voice 
the growing opposition and continue the pressure on 
Bush and the Congress to bring the troops home now.
The human costs of countless Iraqis dying  along side
of tens of thousands of wounded, both US and Iraqis,
can only be ended with a stronger and continued
pressure from the grassroots! 

The Party and Young Communist League have made ending
the illegal war in Iraq a political priority. We have
an important role to play in 
mobilizing grassroots participation in the peace
movement. For some 
clubs this may be one of the first activities we are
try to involve our 
members and contacts.

Please take a look at the Party's web page
http://www.cpusa.org/ and the People's Weekly World
web page http://www.pww.org/ to see the documents from
our convention and articles about our Party's analysis
and involvement in the struggle to end the war in
Iraq.

If actions are not listed, clubs should consider
organizing a  picket 
at a Federal Building or Congressional office or a
neighborhood vigil in a shopping area. Make calls to
local media for coverage and please post the event on
the UFPJ web page http://www.unitedforpeace.org/ 

Even very small vigils and pickets can keep the peace
dialogue going in our neighborhoods.
