Take The Iran Pledge of Resistance! <http://www.iranpledge.org/pledge/> Take the Pledge
I Signed this Morning! On the Anniversary of Shock & Awe in Iraq, It's Time to Stop the Next War Now! Take the Iran Pledge of Resistance: <http://www.iranpledge.org/pledge/> Take the Pledge The <http://www.iranpledge.org/> Iran Pledge of Resistance (IPOR) is a coordinated grassroots campaign to build an emergency response network capable of preempting any escalated U.S. intervention in Iran or the Middle East. Over the past few months there has been escalating talk about the possibility of a U.S. war with Iran. Israel, the U.S.'s closest ally in the region, is threatening attacks which could pull us into war. President Obama and the Republican presidential candidates are saying that "all options are on the table" to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. This is despite the fact that top U.S. intelligence officials have made consistent statements that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program nor is there proof they intend to establish one. Let's Stop This War Before It Starts. On Feb 15, 2003 millions of people marched against war in Iraq. What if millions of us again join together to say no to war, but this time organize a mass horizontal direct action network? <http://www.iranpledge.org/pledge/> Take the Pledge "If the United States applies increased sanctions, invades, bombs, sends combat troops or drones, or otherwise significantly escalates its intervention in Iran or the region directly or through support of its allies, I pledge to join with others to engage in acts of legal protest and/or nonviolent civil disobedience to prevent or halt the death and destruction which U.S. military actions would cause to the people of Iran, the Middle East, our communities at home, and the planet itself." By signing the pledge you will be connecting with 100,000s of others who are receiving this email; but signing up is just the first step. This will only be effective if we organize at the grassroots level. While the Pledge itself is online and there will be effective actions to do from your computer, it will be important to connect with others in your community to start building out this network. We will be able to connect you with others in your area who sign the pledge to coordinate local actions and engage in emergency response. The structure of the Iran Pledge of Resistance is a simple one: local affinity groups formed by those signing up will lead to local spokes councils and coordinating bodies. Those spokes councils will be part of the national conversation to figure out next steps, plan days of actions and much more. Now is your chance to take the first step. Go to www.iranpledge.org to take the pledge now. Working together, we can be a powerful force that can change the course of history. <http://www.iranpledge.org/pledge/> Sign the Pledge of Resistance and start organizing now! P.S.
