On behalf of the Coordinating Committee of the National Assembly to End the Iraq War and Occupation, we are pleased to announce an Open National Conference to Stop the War in Iraq and Bring the Troops Home Now, scheduled for Cleveland, Ohio, June 28-29, 2008. The purpose of the conference is to place on the agenda of the entire U.S. antiwar movement a proposal for the largest possible united mass mobilization(s) in the future to stop the Iraq War and end the occupation.

Everyone -- every organization, every coalition, everywhere in the U.S., all who oppose the war and the occupation -- is warmly and enthusiastically invited to attend this open democratic U.S. national antiwar conference and to join with us in advancing and promoting the coming together of an antiwar movement in this country with the power to make a mighty contribution toward ending the war and occupation of Iraq now.

Please visit the Assembly’s website at www.natassembly.org for more information. The website contains a statement further explaining the purpose of the conference, endorsers to date, a form for organizations to endorse, and a form to register and attend. See also the attachments, one of which also provides the list of endorsers, a form for endorsements by individuals, and a registration form.

In solidarity,
