Multi-Day Event Beginning Wednesday, January 25, 2006 until February 3, 2006 Urgent action needed to repair the USA PATRIOT Act. In December 2005, a bipartisan group of senators filibustered to stop the passage of a PATRIOT Act reauthorization bill that did not protect civil liberties. Congress will take further action by February 3, 2006, to extend 16 PATRIOT Act provisions that will otherwise expire.
Recent news stories about warrantless National Security Agency wiretaps and spying on peaceful protestors show flagrant disregard for our privacy and free speech rights. As Congress prepares to reauthorize controversial portions of the PATRIOT Act and to add new sections, make sure your senators and representative hear from you!

Wear Your Convictions On Your Sleeve Friday, March 28th 2003 all day Wear a white armband on March 28th, 2003! Make it from a white t-shirt, a sock, or a white handkerchief!
Why an armband?
Because... the landmark Supreme Court Case that established that students have protected speech rights in school was Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District, in 1969. In the Tinker case, the students in question black armbands to protest the Vietnam War. In this time of all out attack on free speech and other civil liberties, we want you to stick to a form of symbolic speech that there is absolutely no question is protected under the First Amendment. Also, it’s a good way to honor those students who paved the way for student free speech in school.

RSVP • Reconciliation Campaign Friday, July 3rd 2009 The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) invites you to join us in a two-part campaign this coming month focused on a tangible act of building peace and solidarity between the people of Iran and the United States. This effort is organized in memory of 290 people who lost their lives on July 3, 1988, when the USS Vincennes, a U.S. navy vessel, shot down an Iranian airliner in the Persian Gulf. (For more information please check our website our blog at)
First, we ask that you participate with us in a national candlelight vigil on July 3, 2009. Through this vigil, we will join Iranians in commemorating this tragic date in history, and call on the U.S. government to offer a formal apology for that action.
Also, under a very short timeline, FOR has just been invited to arrange a special civilian diplomacy delegation to Iran to bring U.S. citizens there for this commemoration. On the 3rd of July, our delegation will take a trip to the Persian Gulf and pay respects to those who lost their lives in the attack.
We have received permission from the Iranian authorities to have several dozen Americans on this special trip. We invite you to send one or more members of your organization or coalition as part of this unique act of Civilian Diplomacy. The delegation is tentatively scheduled to leave New York City on Tuesday, June 30, arriving in Tehran on Thursday, July 2; and to depart Tehran on July 14, returning to the U.S. the same day.
The cost of this trip is $4,000, which will cover round-trip air ticket between NYC and Tehran, food, accommodation and domestic transportation in Iran. (Travel within the U.S. to New York City is not included.) The delegation will visit Bandar Abbas, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tehran. In Bandar Abbas, the American Delegates will join Iranian families of those who died in the 1988 incident and a group of Iranian artists on a boat cruise tour in the Persian Gulf. Together, U.S. and Iranian citizens will join in a ceremony of memory of those who lost their lives on July 3, 1988.
Please join us and spread the word. The deadline for applications is Monday, June 8. We regret the short notice.
If you are interested to this trip please send a short bio as well as an image of the first page of your passport to iran@forusa.org
Peace,
