Source: Buddhist Peace Fellowship press release

On September 26, 2006 a Buddhist Peace Fellowship press release reported, "Against the backdrop of reports that U.S. intelligence agencies conclude that the Iraq war is increasing the threat of terrorism, some of the country's leading religious and activist groups will participate in nonviolent civil disobedience in Washington, D.C. to call for an end to the military occupation of Iraq. The action on Tuesday, September 26, will be preceded by a rally at 10am in Upper Senate Park (Delaware and Constitution Aves.), and then a procession led by the faith community leaders to the Senate. Some American Buddhists are standing together with people of other faith traditions to insist that congressional leaders devise a plan for a quick withdrawal and a committed effort to work with Iraqis to rebuild their country."
