United for Peace and Justice is not just bringing huge numbers of people to Washington to protest the Iraq War ... we plan to send everyone home energized, inspired, and prepared to intensify their organizing efforts in communities large and small.
Toward this end, our September anti-war mobilization will include a special "peace and justice festival" designed to connect grassroots activists with a wide array of organizations and campaigns. At the festival, you'll find leaflets, how-to guides, activist toolkits, and other resources; learn more about the disastrous Iraq War and how you can plug into the many efforts underway to bring the troops home; and have an opportunity to talk to knowledgeable organizers involved in everything from counter-recruitment work to faith-based organizing to immigrant rights and civil liberties.
There will also be a large tabling area for groups wishing to distribute literature or sell merchandise at the festival.

Throughout the Washington Monument grounds, we will have more than a dozen large themed tents, featuring vibrant displays and a vast array of organizing resources. There will be a tent dedicated to the war's impact on the Iraqi people; a tent for veterans, military families, and Gold Star families; a counter-recruitment tent; a global justice tent; a Palestine tent; and much, much more. The festival will also feature art installations, including a giant Peace Thunderbird puppet, a photo exhibit from past UFPJ mobilizations, and a project to commemorate those killed in Iraq through the creation of mounds of skull eggs. If you have a display or art project that you would like to have considered for inclusion in the festival, please call our office at 212-868-5545.
