Susan Chenelle UFPJ Internet Coordinator [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) While June is already quite packed -- June 10-11th national mobilization against the Israeli Occupation! UFPJ's 3rd National Assembly the weekend of June 22-24th in Chicago! the US Social Forum in Atlanta at the end of the month! -- there are a couple other events on the horizon that we wanted to check in with you about: 1) Another grim milestone is all-too-quickly approaching ... the 3,500th soldier killed in Iraq. As of today, 3,495 U.S. troops have been killed, according to Iraq Coalition Casualty Count, and May was the deadliest month for U.S. troops since the war began over 4 months ago. It's also been more than six months since the Lancet Report estimated that more than 655,000 Iraqis had died because of the invasion and occupation of their country ... what is that figure now? While Congress might think it's reasonable to wait until September to revisit the questions of funding and withdrawal timetables, we know that dozens, if not hundreds, of people are being killed every single day that Congress fails to end the war. Though we have marked far too many such milestones, we must continue to do so to increase pressure on our representatives and senators, and to engage with people in our communities about the horrendous costs of war. 2) The 4th of July of course is an excellent opportunity to engage our neighbors, family, friends and elected officials in discussions about democracy, justice, civil liberties ... about the Bush Administration's assault on the Constitution and the founding principles of this country ... about how the White House and the Congress have abandoned our soldiers and left them in the middle of an immoral and deadly war ... and what to do about elected officials who fail to represent us. In addition to opening up these discussions, it might make sense in your area to organize a protest or some other public antiwar activity. We know that some of you are already planning actions around either or both of these events. If are planning something, or decide to organize something, please make sure that the details of your event are posted on the UFPJ calendar, so that those who would like to participate and members of the media can find it.
