Two years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the tragedy of war continues and the U.S. has no plan for bringing the troops home. Join us in Washington, DC, to mark the 40th anniversary of the first Vietnam War teach-in in 1965 and to discuss how the U.S. can end the military and economic occupation of Iraq. Simultaneous teach-ins will be held in San Francisco and Ann Arbor to launch a United for Peace and Justice education campaign on how to end the war in Iraq.
