for Peace in asking you to help organize public meetings or smaller gatherings on
Saturday, January 7, on the topic of ending the war.
The war is costing us dearly in lives, in security, and in resources. We need this national day to make our demand heard and bring the war to an end. (Events can als be held on days other than the 7th, to fit the schedules of those involved.)
Because the holidays are coming, the time to organize these events is now. Here's how:
STEP 1: Identify an individual or organization or coalition to take the lead in
organizing an event.
STEP 2: Post the event so that people can sign up for it and other organizers can
contact you and work together. Whoever posts the event will have control of and be ble to communicate with the list of people who sign up to attend it. It is also
possible to post an event without many details and fill them in later.

STEP 3: See the resources posted on that website, which include tips on contacting our Congress Member. Invite him or her to host the event or to be your guest at an event you host, whichever they and you prefer. You can also hold an event without a Congress Member, such as a panel, a discussion circle, or a house party, and it's easy to do so with the resources provided here:

STEP 4: Join a conference call for grassroots activists around the country on December 7 at 11 a.m. ET at 1-218-936-6666, then hit 2 (as instructed). The access code is 295965.
