UCC Justice and Witness Ministries Joins New National Peace Campaign:
The United Church of Christ Justice and Witness Ministries has endorsed a new initiative,
the Declaration of Peace, a pledge to
take peaceful steps for the immediate
withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq
and to engage in nonviolent protests if
a plan to end the war is not established
and begun by September 21, 2006—
International Peace Day.
If the September 21 deadline is not met, Declaration of Peace signers pledge to engage
in peaceful action in Washington, DC, at Congressional offices and other sites throughout the nation
from September 21–28. To read the declaration of peace, learn more, and sign up for the campaign
online, visit the website at www.declarationofpeace.org.
