National Network to End the War Against Iraq : ウィキペディア英語版 | National Network to End the War Against Iraq
The National Network to End the War Against Iraq (NNEWAI) (2001–2004) was the first formal coalition in the United States founded specifically to oppose the policy of economic sanctions and ongoing bombing of targets inside Iraq. ==History== The Network was founded in February 2001 at the Second National Organizing Conference on Iraq, held in Denver, Colorado and hosted by the Colorado Campaign for Middle East Peace. The first National Organizing Conference on Iraq had been held in October 1999 at Ann Arbor, Michigan, where proposals for the formation of the Network had produced ambiguous results. Subsequent national organizing conferences on Iraq were held in 2002 (Palo Alto, California), 2003 (College Park, Maryland) and 2004 (Bloomington, Indiana). After the 2003 conference, held during the US invasion of Iraq, the Network's name was officially changed to the National Grassroots Peace Network (NGPN), but the new name never gained much currency. During its three and a half year history, the Network grew from around 70 to over 350 member organizations in 48 states. During each year of its existence, the Network co-ordinated nationwide protests, vigils and other actions conducted locally by member groups. The Network supported the global day of protest against the impending invasion of Iraq on February 15, 2003, the largest protest action in history. On February 15, 2004, the Network independently organized a Vigil for Peace in 120 cities in a dozen countries.
