Action Alert

Rally for Diplomacy NOT War-- Join us! Wednesday August 26th, Noon-1:30 Federal Building, Clinton & N. Pearl Dear Stan, We are smack in the middle of the most important foreign policy fight of the decade.  Will our elected officials choose diplomacy or will they put us back on the path of war with Iran?  In just under three weeks Congress will return to DC and begin debate.  We still do not yet have the votes need in the House and Senate to sustain a presidential veto.  That means we need to KEEP AT IT!   What: Rally for Diplomacy, NOT War, in Iran When: Wednesday, Aug 26th, Noon-1:30pm Where: Leo O'Brien Federal Building Courtyard, Clinton Ave & North Pearl St, Albany Why: Thank Senator Kristen Gillibrand and Representative Paul Tonko for supporting the 7 nation agreement to block Iran's nuclear weapons program. Urge Senator Chuck Schumer to change his mind and support peace over confrontation in the Middle East. Who: MoveOn.org, Jewish Voice for Peace - Albany Chapter, Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace, Women Against War, Citizen Action NY, Upper Hudson Peace Action and MORE! Many of the same politicians and lobbyists that oppose the Iran nuclear deal also pushed for the disastrous invasion of Iraq and have blocked successive attempts at peace-making in the Middle East, further enabling Israel’s decades-long oppression of Palestinians. They were wrong on Iraq, they're wrong on Iran, and they're wrong on Israel/Palestine.
