Hello WILPF members and supporters!

Welcome to the October Enewsletter!

We are sad to report that our wonderful web designer, Dave Onion, is out of the office for several weeks due to an accident. The staff at WILPF would like you to know that we are doing the best we can without him, however your October E news is a simple and straightforward look at some of the exciting happenings at WILPF. We send our best wishes to Dave in hopes that he gets well soon!

Welcome to the September E-Newsletter!

As always, September indicates a change of season, school begins, and it seems that activism is ramping up to end the War. In this Enews we have an excellent report that United For Peace and Justice has provided, the Peoples Report on the Iraq War. We hope you find it useful in your work. We also remind you to join WILPF in the streets on October 27th as we demand "Bring the Troops Home, Leave No One Behind." UFPJ has organized 14 regional actions across the country. Look for actions in your area.
