Are you worried about a preemptive Israeli attack on Iran dragging the US and the entire Middle East into yet another war?
Do you feel helpless in the face of our so-called elected officials’ unwillingness to stand up to the Israeli government?
The Israeli government is not worried about the US Congress or any western government. However, they are worried about grassroots boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movements that are challenging their impunity.
We can use this concern to help raise the cost of an attack on Iran, and thereby help prevent the next war in the Middle East.
By signing the Divest From War Pledge, you commit to boycotting Israel and Israeli products, and divesting from Israeli government bonds if Israel initiates a preemptive attack on Iran.
All peace-loving people around the world are encouraged to sign this pledge.

We have worked out a 10% discount with AMTRAK for anyone traveling to the Chicago demonstration on May 20. You can use this discount to travel to and from Chicago on an AMTRAK train from anywhere in the country during the period from May 17 to May 23.
To get the special rate, you need to make a reservation and give them the “Convention fare code number of X50K-949.€ If t hey ask you what organization you are from, it is UNAC. AMTRAK fares go up the closer it gets to the day of departure. So, to get the lowest fare, it is best to reserve a seat as soon as possible. There are other discounts for seniors and youth that may be cheaper.
