    Third Friday of every month, Take Action! - Iraq Moratorium
    The slow-motion train wreck that is the occupation of Iraq grows daily more of a nightmare. In 2006 America voted to bring it to an end. But our politicians have failed to grasp the strain on our military and the depth to which America's influence in the world has fallen. We must force them and our media to recognize just how angry America is, and how massive the anti-war sentiment in this country has become.
    The Iraq Moratorium will be an escalating monthly series of actions demanding an end to the war. Starting on Friday, September 21 and on the third Friday of every month thereafter, we will take the time to show our President and Congress that our troops must be brought home, now!

Dear Friends,

In an appreciation of the solidarity work of international artists, Resistance Art is introducing a “World for Palestine ” calendar series for international artists who are committed to the Palestinian struggle and social justice in the world.

I am happy to inform you that the 2010 “World for Palestine ” Calendar has already been posted on our website: www.resistanceart.com

We begin our “World for Palestine ” series with a talented and gifted cartoonist from Brazil Carlos Latuff. Based in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil , Carlos has crafted a style that can be described as Political cartoonist with a unique courage that knows no compromise when it comes to supporting the struggle against oppression.

As the world watches Israel is imprisoning 1.5 million Palestinian in Gaza and denying them the most basic needs. We ask for your help to break the siege on Gaza and to support Gaza ’s young artists. This project is in support of Gaza ’s young artists. All proceeds from the sales will be donated to young artists in Gaza
