Actions Speak Louder...

Almost five years ago, the Bush Administration launched its war in Iraq. Now there are nearly 4000 Americans dead and 28,000 wounded, and tens of thousands of Iraqis killed. The violent conflict continues with no end in sight.

Do something about it. Sign up for a substantive and exciting few days of education, training, and action at Campus Progress’ upcoming Iraq Action Camp.

Washington, D.C., on March 15-17, 2008

This year’s camp will help to prepare students not only for the upcoming fifth anniversary antiwar activities, but also for longer term movement building when you return home to your campus and community.

Past Events

Rally: Support Our Troops, Bring Them Home!

Students, Iraq War veterans, and activists joined together on June 14th, 2007, in a rousing rally to end the war. The rally at Taft Memorial Park sent a clear message to our leaders that the time is now for a realistic plan to bring our troops home.

Summer 2007 Iraq Action Camp

The Summer 2007 Iraq Action Camp, which took place June 10-14, was an intense week of training, campfires, lobbying, s'mores, and connections. Students from across the country were trained by experienced organizers from MoveOn, Democracy Matters, the United States Student Association, Campus Progress Action, and others. Participants learned what a good campaign looks like and how to work with the media to get the message out.

Speakers at the camp included:

• Tom Matzzie, Washington Director, MoveOn.org
• Barbara Lee, US Representative, Progressive Caucus Co-Chair
• Garett Reppenhagen, Chair, Iraq Veterans Against the War
