What's the first step for us to stop the war in Afghanistan? Shift American public opinion.

That's why PDX Peace is joining UFPJ in a National Media Day of Action on Thursday, May 21 to reach out to every local, regional and national media source! How do we do all that? It's much easier than you think. We'll provide you resources, tool and tips, and a Media Training conference call May 14 to teach you how to get our voices there!

Go to the UFPJ website on May 14th to find the resources you need

Mark your calendars for: Thursday, May 14 -- 6:00pm PDT (9:00pm EDT). Please email organizing@unitedforpeace.org if you plan on attending the conference call. We will then send you the call details, including the phone number.

Learn how to be in the media mix, get geared up to be on radio and tv shows, learn how to jump into the online world of Media 2.0, and build your skills to be part of a longer-term media strategy for grassroots peace and justice organizing.
