Hey,
I'm writing to let you know about Iraq Action Camp, which is an opportunity for students from all across the country to learn about and make change on the war. PLEASE forward ASAP, the first week of camp is only a month away, and we want to make sure it's a success. It will be an excellent opportunity to get students plugged into trainings. Also, check out the youtube video we have running.
Thanks,
Ross

As the Iraq War rages into its fifth year, more than 3,300 American soldiers are dead and more than 24,000 are wounded. While the American public overwhelmingly supports bringing the troops home, many in Congress refuse to hear this message. In response, Campus Progress Action and MoveOn.org Civic Action are sponsoring Iraq Action Camp, an opportunity for students from across the country to travel to Washington DC, discuss the issues with activists and experts, learn valuable organizing skills, and work to bring the troops home.
Do you want to tell your Congressperson face to face that it's time to end the war? Do you want to prepare for the most exciting semester of action your campus has ever seen? Do you want to meet students from all across the country who are working to end the war? At Iraq Action Camp, you can.
Join us this summer for an intense week of training, campfires, lobbying, s'mores, and connections in Washington DC from either May 20th-24th or June 10th-14th. Get trained by experienced organizers from MoveOn, Democracy Matters, United States Student Association, Campus Progress, and elsewhere. Learn what a strategic campaign looks like and how to work with the media to get your message out, then qualify for grant money to turn your vision into reality. There are a limited number of spots, and they're going fast, so apply today at http://www.iraqactioncamp.org
