The Occupation Watch Information Center is a news and information resource focusing on the U.S./coalition occupation of Iraq. The people running this site are politically opposed to the occupation. Nevertheless, their aim is to present an accurate and comprehensive picture of the occupation, on a daily basis, including both the good and the bad.

The Iraq Moratorium project grew out of the frustration we share with so many Americans. Why does the war grind on when the people of this country have so clearly rejected it? Obviously voting didn’t do the job.

In addition to vigiling, there are many other ways to take a stand as an individual. Wear a black armband or ribbon on Moratorium Day. Call or write your elected officials that day or send a letter to the editor of the local paper. Don't buy gas.

Whatever you do, you’ll be doing it with millions of people, and whatever you do, fill out the easy to use form that is posted the Iraq Moratorium website to let your elected officials and the media know what you did.

On the 3rd Friday of each month, thousands of people nationwide stand up in their local communities to show their opposition to U.S. occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are at least 40 Third Friday vigils in the State of Wisconsin alone.

We must dare to change the course of history. As George W. Bush is inaugurated for a second term, let it not be said that people in the United States silently acquiesced in the face of this shameful coronation of war, greed, and intolerance. He does not speak for us. He does not represent us. He does not act in our name. No election, whether fair or fraudulent, can legitimize criminal wars on foreign countries, torture, the wholesale violation of human rights, and the end of science and reason.

The war has started. The struggle continues. All over the world, there is grief, sorrow, fear, and anger. We must show determination, and vision. We must move on, beyond war. We can win without war. We are united for peace.
