According to United for Peace and Justice:

At least 726 towns and cities, in all 50 states - an unprecedented number - are holding anti-war events, in a reflection of the growing breadth of the anti-war movement. This is more than double the number of anti-war actions on the first anniversary of the war last year.

You can get a blue Wage Peace bracelet from the American Friends Service Committee. You can also sign their Iraq Peace Petition to be delivered to Congress and President Bush.

Code Pink is organizing a Peace Ribbon Project that honors the victims of the war in Iraq by creating a memorial to the fallen soldiers and Iraqi civilians who have died as a result of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Their goal is to create a remembrance panel for each life that has been claimed by the war. The panels will be tied together in chronological order and displayed around the U.S. to remember and honor those who have died. You can create a panel or contribute to one being created by someone else.
