Faith-based Group Calls for Grassroots Resistance to Iraq War
Call to Resist, sponsored by Reclaiming the Prophetic Voice, produced by Melinda Tuhus
On Jan. 15, Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, a faith-based group in Connecticut, Reclaiming the Prophetic Voice, commemorated Dr. King's call for an end to the war in Vietnam. Members of the group read the names of all the U.S. service members killed thus far in the Iraq war, alternating with the names of some of the Iraqi civilians who have died, numbering an estimated 100,000 . Then the group issued a call to resist the current war, based on a statement written by author and activist Jeremy Brecher. Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus was there and filed this report.
