Who's organizing this?

This campaign was created by The Action Mill. We are artists and activists who create nonviolent actions, websites and other tools - we consult with other groups on some campaigns, and some we run on our own. We did mostly local actions until the evening of the 2004 election, when we started Turn Your Back on Bush, which organized people from 47 states to travel to Washington DC for President Bush's inaugural parade, where they took part in a simple, clear action. Turn Your Back on Bush grew from two people and a website to organizers all over the country and a full-time volunteer staff of fifteen in two months time, and simultaneous actions were organized in Brussels, London, and Mexico City. You can learn more about that campaign at www.TurnYourBackonBush.org, and more about the Action Mill at www.ActionMill.com.

America Stands Watch grew out of our work with Iraq Veterans Against the War (www.IVAW.org). We started out by creating a website for IVAW and have spent the last year working with them on on their strategy to end the occupation of Iraq and bring the troops home now. We believe that the veterans and active duty service members that are part of IVAW are essential to ending this war, and we want citizens to stand up with them and take action to bring this tragic chapter of American history to a close. This campaign is not affiliated with IVAW, but we encourage you to visit their website and find out more about their work. While you're there, make a donation - it's the best way we know to support our troops.
