The Green Party's Peace Action Committee (GPAX) is organizing the Green contingent at the March on Saturday, January 27, and has scheduled a pre-March rally for Greens and supporters to take place 10:00 a.m. on McPherson Square, 15th and K Streets NW (near the McPherson Square Metro Station, Orange and Blue Lines).

The March to Capitol Hill begins at 1:00 p.m. GPAX local contacts for the January 27 March on Washington: Greens have opposed the war since President Bush announced plans in late 2002 to invade Iraq. The Green Party's national committee adopted a resolution in July, 2003, calling for impeachment of President Bush for numerous deceptions about reasons for the invasion and other abuses of power <http://www.gp.org/position/st_2003_07_impeach.shtml>. The Green Party, which ran a 'Peace Slate' of candidates in 2006, has consistently demanded an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and led the political opposition to the war. Greens have sharply criticized the Democratic Party for supporting the invasion initially, failing to take a united stand against the war and other Republican agenda, and refusing to pursue impeachment. Other events to take place during the January 27 weekend:
