Announcing Camp Democracy

Cindy Sheehan to Move Camp to National Mall

Cindy Sheehan and activists in the growing peace movement plan to move Camp Casey to
the National Mall in Washington, D.C., September 8 - 21. The camp on the Mall will
carry the name Camp Democracy at Fort Fed Up. Organizers intend the camp to bring
together peace activists with activists for social justice, united in demanding a
shift of public resources from war to the needs of people. Participants will lobby
Congress to end all funding of the occupation of Iraq, and will demand that Congress
hold the Bush Administration accountable for the falsehoods that launched the war
and the abuses of power here at home that have accompanied it. Camp Democracy is
launching an outreach effort to include organizations in the planning of the camp's
activities, which are all in the initial stages. Organizations already on board are
listed on the website:
http://campdemocracy.org

Participating organizations and guest experts and celebrities will provide workshops
and training sessions on a wide range of issues, as well as on communications, voter
registration, nonviolent civil disobedience, lobbying, organizing, media production,
and performance arts. Congress Members and congressional candidates will take part.
Local elected officials will instruct attendees on participation in local
government. Musicians will perform concerts. New films will be shown on a large
screen. Participants will acquire useful skills while demanding fundamental change.
