On August 6, 2007 a reinvigorated Occupation Project campaign will launch with acts of nonviolent civil disobedience / civil resistance and office occupations occurring through at least the end of September.

The demand of the campaign is simple. Representatives and Senators: Publicly commit to voting against any funding for the Iraq war or we will nonviolently occupy your offices.

We invite your participation and your organization’s endorsement. To become involved with this campaign, please contact us via phone at 773-878-3815 or via e-mail, occupationproject@vcnv.org. We also encourage you to sign up for the project using our sign-up form.
