Open Invitation to the Inaugural Conference of American Voices Abroad, July 4-6, Berlin, Germany
American Voices Abroad is a non-partisan coalition bringing together Americans abroad in opposition to Bushs foreign and domestic policy.
After September 11, we experienced an unprecedented outpouring of sympathy in our host countries, only to see it squandered by Bushs aggressive unilateralism and disregard for world opinion. In cities such as Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Prague and Beirut, we acknowledged our special role as U.S. citizens by forming ad hoc groups to protest Bushs plans for Iraq. Our actions served to remind our host countries that Americans do not stand united behind the policies of the present U.S. government.
From July 4-6 these groups will meet in Berlin to discuss strategies for opposing Bushs destructive policies and mending the international ties which he has put under such strain.
Groups and individuals are equally welcome! We encourage you to contact us at [email protected] for more information, to share your thoughts with us, and/or to get on our mailing list for future initiatives, even if you cannot attend.
