Seasons of our Discontent:
a Presidential Occupation Project
Voices for Creative Nonviolence, Catholic Peace Ministries, DMCW Community and other peace allies in Iowa are organizing a campaign of nonviolent civil resistance focused upon those who would be President.
Seasons of Discontent: A Presidential Occupation Project (SODaPOP) will launch this October introducing nonviolent direct action against the war in Iraq into the presidential election process. Activists from around the nation are encouraged to journey to Iowa to "occupy" the Iowa campaign headquarters of presidential candidates who do not pledge to concrete plans for complete withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Iraq. Such candidates might also be challenged as they make public appearances around the state without regard for arbitrary "free speech zone" restrictions that may be established by candidates, parties, police or the Secret Service.
To participate in SODaPOP, contact the project via Voices for Creative Nonviolence
