Let's Knock on a Million Doors for Peace Saturday 9/20

in
Million Doors for Peace A Message from Ned Lamont about Million Doors for Peace

Join us this Saturday, September 20th! Details below.

It has been five and a half years since the start of the Iraq War. Over the course of that time, millions of Americans have taken to the streets to protest this abhorrent war, holding marches and rallies all across this country and in its capital city.

But what about the majority of Americans who favor peace but cannot join us at a traditional rally in Washington D.C.? That is why it is time we turned the notion of an anti-war protest on its head, and instead of packing a million people into the National Mall, we knock on a million doors.

On Saturday, September 20 we intend to do just that.

Knocking on a million doors is easier than it sounds. All it takes is 25,000 people across the country to get out and knock on 40 doors each. So we are going to do a fair share of those million doors in Connecticut. Here is how you can get involved:

  1. Go to http://milliondoorsforpeace.org/ and register;


  2. Join us on September 20, 9:30 am at 1 of 3 locations:

  3. If you need more information, call John Murphy at 860-995-3389.

Chances are that one of these three locations is a reasonable distance from where you live, but for those of you who want to knock doors close to home, you're in luck! After signing up on the Million Doors for Peace website, you will be sent a list of voters to contact near your home.

So this Saturday, September 20th, join us in person at one of the three locations above, or join us in solidarity by door-knocking in your neighborhood. Let's knock on a million doors for peace.
