There are now over 700 hundred endorsers for the March on the Pentagon. We encourage you to become an endorser and to get leaders and organizations in your area to endorse and begin mobilizing.
On March 17, 2007, the 4th anniversary of the start of the criminal invasion of Iraq, tens of thousands of people from around the country will descend on the Pentagon in a mass demonstration to demand: U.S. Out of Iraq Now! 2007 is the 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 anti-war march to the Pentagon during the Vietnam War. The message of the 1967 march was "From Protest to Resistance," and marked a turning point in the development of a countrywide mass movement.

Please make a generous donation to help pay for the huge expenses associated with organizing the march on the Pentagon. Make a tax-deductible donation today, before the end of the year, and you can redirect your money to fight for peace rather than to fund the half-trillion dollar war-budget.
In the coming days and weeks, thousands of organizations and individuals will begin mobilizing for the upcoming March on the Pentagon. Organizing committees and transportation centers are being established to bring people to the March on the Pentagon.
The March 17 demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at 12 noon in Washington, D.C.and march to the Pentagon.

Make an end of the year tax-deductible donation
Your help is needed today. We need to raise $50,000 in the next weeks for the March on the Pentagon. We must pay to reserve buses, print hundreds of thousands of leaflets, stickers, and posters, pay for stage, sound, and other logistical expenses. You can still make an end of the year tax-deductible donation - so your money can go to stop the war rather than fund it. Click here to make a donation.
