Check out Greenpeaace's cyber-alert asking people to support
the French led initiative. See:

For what Greenpeace offices around the world are doing to try and
stop the war see:

And our new 'No War' website is at:

Although you'd never know it from the American (or British)
media, it seems that the initiative from France, Germany, Russia
and China seems to have the support of 11 out of 15 of the Security
Council members...we'll see what happens with Blix on Friday and
the new resolutions early next week.
But the two priorities are definitely:
1. Flooding French, Russian and Chinese embassies with messages
of support ASAP.
2. Maximum number of people in the streets on Saturday.
The European Council (Heads of State/Government) is meeting in
Emergency session on Monday to discuss Iraq, and your help (and
your networks') would be much appreciated to bolster the French-
German initiative, the text of which is available at:

For my own US based cyber-activism I've been relying on
MoveOn, and they have a key initiative at present which may be
useful in Brussels on Monday, at:

See you on Saturday (in spirit) at the demonstrations!
