Now Is the Time to Stop a New War Against Iran!!

Incredible as it may seem, the Bush administration appears to be actively planning a military strike against Iran. An amendment requiring Bush to seek Congressional approval before doing so was taken out of the bill which the House passed on Friday March 23, 2007 ("Iraq Accountability Act").

Read the Brooklyn For Peace position:
  Negotiation Not Confrontation (PDF)

Read and distribute our statement:
  10 Reasons Not To Bomb Iran (or threaten to do so) (PDF 126 kb)

For more information, read these talking points by Phyllis Bennis of the Institute for Policy Studies. Additional resources are also available.

Here's what you can do:

  1. Contact your Congressperson and our New York Senators Clinton and Schumer. Tell them to sign on to legislation which would require Bush to seek Congressional approval before any military action against Iran.
  2. Sign Peace Action's petition "No War With Iran!" This petition demands that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reject any U.S. military action against Iran and demands direct negotiations. Copies will go to Chairs of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Committee on International Relations.
  3. Sign After Downing Street Coalition's petition to Bush and Cheney.
  4. Email us if you are willing to participate in an Iran Committee of Brooklyn For Peace to stay up-to-date and plan further action on this issue.
