It's election season, summer's coming, the War and Occupation in Iraq continues at a cost of $720 million a day (!), and Congress is about to sign another $100+ Billion blank check.  Meanwhile, the hard and creative work of pro-peace mobilization continues across the city and the region.  The mainstream media ignores us furiously, but the Washington Peace Letter wants to tell the full story--and we need your help.

 If you were at an event--demonstration, cultural action, workshop, speech, government fiasco--anything that interested you and that you think others should know about, then TELL US ABOUT IT.  The Peace Letter is written and edited by volunteers like you.  You can send us any story (ideally between 200 and 2000 words--clarity and brevity are always appreciated) and we can put it in print or make it appear on the blog below.  ALL SUBMISSIONS APPRECIATED AND CONSIDERED. (wpc@igc.org  Subject line: NEWS- [your headline])

Did you snap a photo you think other people should see?  Even better. (1000 words right there!)  Send it along with a story or caption and we will see that it gets seen.

Deadline for the next issue of the Washington Peace Letter is Friday, May 30.  You write, right?  Write up a story and do the movement some journalistic justice.  Who knows?  Your Pulitzer could be just a few paragraphs away. . .

Questions?  Give us a call at 202/234-2000, or email wpc@igc.org.
